Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Muffins are a cozy and delicious combination of tender apple pieces, warm cinnamon, and hearty oats. These muffins are soft, moist, and nutritious, making them perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a light dessert.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup rolled oats
    1 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
    1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 large egg
    1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
    1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces (about 1 medium apple)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

  1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
  4. Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Add-ins: Add walnuts, raisins, or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
  2. Spiced Muffins: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for more depth of flavor.
  3. Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  4. Vegan: Replace the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk and oil.
  5. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  6. Freezing: Freeze cooled muffins for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
