Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or berries for added texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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 the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthy whole grain muffins fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
