1. Soak the oats in milk for approximately 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Combine the oat mixture with applesauce and egg whites, and mix until combined.
4. In a separate bowl whisk together dry ingredients.
5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add nuts or raisins, if desired. **Do not over mix the batter or the muffins will be tough!**
6. Spoon batter into 12 prepared muffin cups. Combine cinnamon and sugar and top each muffin with some of the mixture.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until done.
