Oat Applesauce Muffins

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup buttermilk  (I usually just put some lemon juice into milk then let sit before use)

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup applesauce

1 egg

Place oats in a small bowl, pour in buttermilk. Let sit for two hours at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 375. Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
In a large bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and brown sugar. Stir in oat/buttermilk mixture, applesauce and egg; mix well. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean.
Optional:
dried cranberries; soak in water for about 1/2h then add to batter
