Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

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

Add-ins

  • 1 cup diced apples

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s properly heated for baking the muffins evenly.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir these ingredients thoroughly to distribute everything evenly.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, apple sauce, and the large egg. Make sure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fold in apples: Carefully fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill muffin tins: Spoon the batter into greased or lined muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store the muffins in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • These muffins are best served warm for optimal flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute sugar with honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
