Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (whisked) (substitute flax eggs for a vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup butter (or coconut oil, melted)
  • 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup milk (of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour)
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned oats (+ more for sprinkling on top, optional)

Produce

  • 1 1/2 cups apples (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place muffin liners in a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan), melted butter (or coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the oat flour (or your choice of flour) and old fashioned oats to the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is evenly mixed with no large lumps.
  4. Incorporate Apples: Fold the finely chopped apples into the batter carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Fill Muffin Liners: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Optionally, sprinkle some extra oats on top for added texture and visual appeal.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for about 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool the Muffins: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then gently transfer the muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with 2 flax eggs (mix 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes).
  • Use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt for a dairy-free and vegan alternative.
  • Feel free to swap honey with maple syrup for a fully plant-based sweetener.
  • Oat flour can be substituted with whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour for different texture preferences.
  • Adding a sprinkle of oats on top before baking gives a nice crunch but is optional.
