  • Total Time: 38 minutes
  • Yield: 10 muffins

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cinnamon applesauce
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats (250 grams)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 2 cups diced apple (235 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with silicone muffin liners, or alternatively, lightly grease a nonstick muffin tin. Avoid using paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened cinnamon applesauce, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until fully blended.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the batter, ensuring pieces are distributed but not overly mashed.
  5. Scoop Batter: Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, fill 10 muffin cups with the batter. Note that the batter will be somewhat wet and sticky, so forming neat muffins may require gentle shaping.
  6. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top before serving for added flavor. Enjoy as a healthy breakfast or snack!

Notes

  • Using silicone or greased muffin liners prevents sticking better than paper liners.
  • Batter is wet; shaping the muffins slightly before baking can help achieve better muffin form.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or other plant-based milk.
