Applesauce Cereal Chip Muffins

Applesauce Cereal Chip Muffins
2 cups toasted oat "O" cereal, finely crushed
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
3 Tablespoons oil
1/2 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 400◦F. Grease or line muffin cups.
In a large bowl, stir together the first six dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and mix until moistened. Divide among prepared cups. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 

This is a really quick and easy muffin recipe, once you get the cereal crushed. I used multigrain cereal because that's what I had on hand, but plain will work too, and apple cinnamon would probably be really good! This is a different muffin recipe, the cereal adds a little texture, sort of like adding rolled oats to the batter would. The applesauce keeps the muffins moist, the cinnamon adds a touch of flavor, and the chocolate chips make them delicious! I came across the recipe online.
