    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Oil a standard 12-cup muffing tin or line it with paper muffin cups. Combine granola, flour, whole wheat flour, flax seed, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together applesauce, milk, sugar, oil and eggs. Add applesauce mixture to dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Pour batter into muffin tins and fill them 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra granola or rolled oats on top and bake 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool slightly in pan before removing muffins to a cooling rack.
