Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  2. Make the topping: Using your fingers, in a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, the brown sugar, and butter until crumbly. Stir in the oats.
  3. Make the muffins: In a large bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and remaining 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour. Stir in the currants. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce, milk, granulated sugar, oil, and vanilla until blended. Stir the applesauce mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
  4. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, about 1 tbsp each. Sprinkle with the oat topping. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centre of each muffin comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
