Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats

- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup diced apples
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, eggs, apple sauce, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until everything is well mixed and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until the dry ingredients are just combined.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. When done, a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter. Use ripe apples for the best flavor.
