Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, whey protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts gently until evenly distributed.
Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted butter to make the topping.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
