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
- 1 cup diced apples
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the muffins evenly.
- 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 dry ingredients.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, apple sauce, and the large egg until smooth and fully blended.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the muffins.
- Add diced apples: Fold in the diced apples carefully, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the batter for bursts of flavor in every bite.
- Fill muffin tins: Spoon the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full for optimal rising.
- Bake muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- These muffins are best served warm to enjoy the moist texture and aromatic cinnamon flavor.
- For a natural sweetener alternative, substitute the sugar with an equal amount of honey.
- Use fresh, firm apples for the best texture; softer apples can make the muffins too moist.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and light.
