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
  • 1 cup diced apples


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir these together evenly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, apple sauce, and the large egg until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined without over-mixing.
  5. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold in the diced apples to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store muffins in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Best served warm to enjoy the full flavor and moist texture.
  • You can substitute sugar with honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
