Wholesome and healthy, these mini muffins are a wonderful breakfast option. They’re made with a mix of all-purpose flour and whole-wheat flour for a muffin that’s tender but still has a dose of whole grains. Dried currants and a blend of warming spices provide comforting flavor while the applesauce, which replaces some of the traditional butter or oil, adds moisture and a touch of apple flavor. Chopping the currants helps distribute them more evenly throughout the batter. The buttery brown sugar and oats streusel that’s sprinkled on top before these muffins bake adds crunch and sweetness and makes the muffins prettier too.
