1/8 cup brown sugar

2 Tbsp melted butter

Muffin batter:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup carrot or sweet potato puree NOTE: small jars of baby food = 1/2 cup of puree
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup veg oil
1 egg

Preheat oven to 400 F and grease muffin tin; I got 16 muffins out of my batch.

Combine topping ingredients in small bowl and set aside.

Combine ingredients top to bottom and stir just until mixed.

Poor into muffin tins and top with streusel; I pushed the streusel down with back of spoon before baking. Bake 18 to 20 minutes.
