So several people have asked me since I began the Modern Southern Cook for a muffin recipe that reduces the oil and fat without bananas. Of course. the reasonable substitute is apple sauce. This recipe uses apple sauce both as a substitute for oil as well as a flavoring ingredient. The addition of oats also adds a great texture to the muffin. For an added benefit, while these tender, delicious muffins are in the oven, your house will smell of apple pie, which is never a bad thing! Give these muffins a try; they are absolutely so moist that you would never guess they are a lighter version of something so hearty. 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour 1/2 Cup Oats 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon Ginger 1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar 1 pinch Salt 1/2 Cup Milk 1 Cup Cinnamon Apple Sauce 1 Egg 1 teaspoon Vanilla FOR THE TOPPING 1/4 Cup Chopped Pecans 2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar Yield: 6 Jumbo Muffins 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coa
