Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 apple, finely chopped or grated (about 1 medium apple)
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk, then let sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg. Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until combined.
Add the oat and almond milk mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped or grated apple until evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Healthy Low Fat Apple and Oatmeal Muffins!
