- 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup flour

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup rolled oats Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare your muffin tin with cupcake liners.

3. Assist your kiddo to shift the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon into the wet mixture.
