Apple Oatmeal Muffins

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt (or applesauce), milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Fold in the diced apple, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4: Combine and Fill the Muffin Tin

  1. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  2. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle the tops with a few extra oats, nuts, or a dusting of cinnamon sugar for added texture and flavor.

Step 5: Bake the Muffins

  1. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  2. Cool the muffins in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
