APPLE OATMEAL MUFFINS — These hearty muffins are loaded with oats, apples and fall spices. Perfect for packing in lunches, quick breakfasts or after school snacking.
I love baking with apples! Especially at this time of year. And I must say, these Apple Oatmeal Muffins are some of the tastiest muffins I’ve tried in quite awhile.
The combination of apples, oats and spices is just perfect, although I find an extra dash of cinnamon never hurts! As an added bonus, the whole house smells lovely while they bake.
Made these today – truly delicious and made my house smell like autumn. Thank you! ~ Julia
I used a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, but you could certainly use all white or all wheat, depending on your tastes and what you have on hand.
This recipe definitely lends itself well to healthier options, like all wheat flour, or subbing applesauce for the oil. There is already applesauce in the recipe, but you could omit the oil and use extra applesauce too.
If you prefer, you can bake this recipe up in a 9×5-inch loaf pan–just be sure to increase the cooking time. Mini loaves would be great too!
I made a fourth batch of these yesterday, truly delicious! So moist, so yummy and full of fruit. This recipe is truly a keeper, I don’t even need to look at it anymore while making them! ~ Maja
