In a large bowl, whisk coconut oil, brown sugar, eggs, oatmeal and applesauce. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in chopped apple.

Divide the batter between 12 muffin cups.

Streusel - In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon. Add the butter. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles wet sand and clumps together when you press it together. Sprinkle the streusel over the batter in the 12 muffin cups.

Bake for 13-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
