In a large bowl, add rolled oats, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar. Set aside 20 minutes until the oats soften and soak up some liquid. This step is not optional, or the muffins won't hold their shape.
Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon oats crumble.
Oat Crumble Topping
In a small bowl, stir flour, oats, cinnamon, and sugar. Add softened plant-based butter and use your fingertips to rub into the dry ingredients to form a crumble texture. Set aside.
Muffin Batter
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper case liners. Grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir the remaining dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry: applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, avocado oil, and soaked ingredients from Step 1. Stir until the batter is smooth.
Fill the prepared muffin pan evenly with the batter and sprinkle the cinnamon crumble toppings on top of each muffin.
Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce heat to 350°F (180°C) and keep baking for 15-18 minutes until a pick inserted in the center come out clean.
Cool down on a wire rack before serving.
