Applesauce Yogurt Muffins

These delicious muffins are moist and sweet but contain fiber from apples and calcium from yogurt! They are hearty, healthy, and yummy! 
Ingredients:
1/2 cup white flour
1 1/2 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup flaxseed (or another type of wholesome flour) 
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger (optional, you also can add more such spices if you like)
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup applesauce
1/2 cup plain yogurt
4 Tablespoons melted coconut oil (or butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup quick oats (you can also use rolled oats for more texture)
1/2 cup* raisin (optional)
1/4 cup* cranberries (optional)
1/4 cup* walnuts (optional)
1/4 cup* sunflower seeds (optional)
(*Or you can just pour in then amount you want :-)

In a large mixing bowl mix up all the dry ingredients except for the oats (first 8 on the list). In another bowl mix together the wet ingredients and the oats. Combined the wet and dry ingredients. Mix in raisins, cranberries, and/or walnuts. Do not over mix!
With a large spoon, fill well greased muffin pans 3/4 of the way full.
Bake at 375 F for 18 minutes.

You can also sprinkle the muffins with this topping when they come out of the oven if you desire:

Mix together:
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
A few dashes of cinnamon (optional)
Sprinkle and spread over hot muffins. Let them cool a little in the pan. Enjoy hot or cool!
