Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple sauce
  • 1 large egg

Other

  • 1 cup diced apples


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, apple sauce, and egg until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined without overmixing.
  5. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Tins: Pour the batter evenly into a prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the muffins turn golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store the muffins in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
  • These muffins are best served warm for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute sugar with honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free oats and flour.
  • Add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for added texture and taste.
