Ingredients

    • Whole Wheat Flour: 1 1/2 cups

    • Rolled Oats: 1/2 cup

    • Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon

    • Baking Soda: 1/2 teaspoon

    • Ground Cinnamon: 1 1/2 teaspoons

    • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon

    • Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped): 1 1/2 cups (about 2 medium apples)

    • Eggs: 2 large

    • Unsweetened Applesauce: 1/2 cup

    • Honey or Maple Syrup: 1/3 cup

    • Greek Yogurt (non-fat or low-fat): 1 cup

    • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

    • Chopped Walnuts (optional, for added texture): 1/4 cup

Instructions

    1. Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin:
      Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
      In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

    1. Prepare the Apples:
      Wash, peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Set them aside.

    1. Combine Wet Ingredients:
      In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well blended.

    1. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
      Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts (if using) using a spatula.

    1. Fill the Muffin Cups:
      Use a spoon or a scoop to evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

    1. Bake the Muffins:
      Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

    1. Cool and Serve:
      Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

These Apple Cinnamon Muffins are not only healthy but also packed with flavors that remind you of cozy fall mornings. Enjoy them as a delicious breakfast or a sweet snack!
