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 applesauce
  • 1 large egg

Other

  • 1 cup diced apples

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when your batter is ready.
  2. 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 leavening agents and spices.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, applesauce, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly dispersed without breaking them down too much.
  6. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a healthier alternative, you can replace white sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar substitute.
  • Use crisp apples like Granny Smith for a tart flavor or Fuji apples for more sweetness.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • These muffins freeze well; thaw at room temperature before serving.
