Hot Cross Bun Muffins

This simple Easter breakfast is full of festive flavors and some hidden goodness. These muffins are healthier than they appear, due to the oats, whole wheat flour, applesauce and yogurt. However, if you’d like to replace the raisins with chocolate chips, then I won’t stop you!

For the Muffins:
½ cup (55g) rolled oats
½ cup (65g) all purpose flour
½ cup (75g) whole wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
½ cup (130g) applesauce
½ cup (~130g) Greek-style yogurt
¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup (45g) raisins
2 tablespoons candied mixed peel
