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
- 1 cup diced apples
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature before you start preparing the batter.
- 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 the large egg until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter evenly into a prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full for proper rising.
- Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Notes
- Store the muffins in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
- These muffins are best served warm to enjoy the full flavor and moist texture.
- You can substitute the sugar with honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
- For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- If you prefer gluten-free, swap all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
