First, I have to share this recipe. The other day at work, the president of the company (I work as a graphic designer for Roberts Crafts) brought a box of huge, fantastically delicious looking muffins and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and someone else brought homemade pumpkin cookies. Of course the treat table is RIGHT NEXT to my desk. And sometimes IS my desk. I spent ALL DAY staring at those things. I love muffins. AND pumpkin cookies. Of course, this is the week I start back up on my path of change after 4 months of not caring. LOL. Figures. So I went home and searched for a more healthy alternative to huge, oil filled, sugar coma inducing muffins. And I found this recipe. They were SO yummy too. Hope you enjoy them! I used wheat flour instead of white flour. Gives it a bit more of the "healthy" factor. You can also use more natural butter alternatives as well. I just didn't have any on hand.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup applesauce
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg. Combine dry ingredients; add alternately with applesauce to the creamed mixture. Stir in oats and chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.

I had 2 and they were DELICIOUS! Thanks Brie. :)
Anytime! I love that I'm feeling like cooking more lately. I used to bake and cook a lot, and I loved it. Life just got too busy for that to be enjoyable and not stressful.
Glad you liked them! :)
