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
Add-ins
- 1 cup diced apples
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all the dry ingredients.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, apple sauce, and egg until fully blended and smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep muffins tender.
- Fold in apples: Carefully fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fill muffin tins: Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For added sweetness, serve muffins warm with a drizzle of honey or a spread of nut butter.
- To make this recipe healthier, substitute sugar with an equal amount of honey or maple syrup.
- Ensure apples are diced small to allow even baking and moisture distribution.
- Do not overmix batter to avoid tough muffins; mix until ingredients are just combined.
