Gluten Free Oatmeal Muffins

We've been doing this gluten free thing for awhile now, and baking is a whole lot easier now than it was 7 years ago.  I stumbled upon this recipe a while back for regular oatmeal muffins and have been tweaking it for gluten free ever since.  The recipe that follows is the result.

Super Tasty, Kid Approved Gluten Free Oatmeal Muffins

1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk like almond or coconut)
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal (we use Only Oats brand which is wheat free)
1 egg 
1/4 cup oil (doesn't matter what type)
1 cup Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (we use Our Compliments, but Bob's Red Mill has a good one as well)
1/4 cup sugar (either white or brown)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup applesauce (I've used homemade, or the small container of flavoured like blueberry or pear)

1. Preheat oven to 375 F, grease muffin cups or use paper liners (12 normal size or 24 mini muffins).
2. Combine oats, milk and applesauce and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg together with the oil.
4. Combine all dry ingredients.
5. Add egg and oil mixture to oatmeal mixture, then stir it all into the dry ingredients.
6. Spoon into muffin cups (about 3/4 full)
7. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes.  I always do the toothpick inserted in the middle test.  If it comes out clean, they're done.

These muffins are such a hit in my house I've had to start making them in double batches, usually twice a week.  The middles are moist and fluffy, and they aren't gritty like a lot of gluten free baked goods tend to be.  You can also add just about anything you'd like to them, chocolate chips, nuts, whatever you'd like.  Try them out and let me know what you think!!!
