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.
- 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 the leavening agents and spices.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, apple sauce, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter to evenly distribute them throughout.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Pour the batter evenly into a muffin tin lined with paper cups or greased to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Best enjoyed warm to bring out the cinnamon and apple flavors.
- You can substitute sugar with an equal amount of honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
- Use crisp apples like Granny Smith for better texture and tartness.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when fully baked.
