Triple Apple Oatmeal Muffins
Tasty apple muffins great for breakfast or snack time!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup ground oats (oat flour) take oats and run through the processor to make an oat flour
- 1 cup oats leave these whole
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder non-aluminum
- 1 tsp apple pie spice you could use more of this... it depends on your taste, but I would start with one (I usually use 2)
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup apple sauce no sugar added
- ⅓ cup maple syrup real maple syrup, not pancake syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk any type of milk you use
- 2 apples whatever kind you like
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350℉
-
Grind the oats into a flour consistency, add them and the other oats and dry ingredients to a bowl and stir together
-
Whisk eggs together into a separate mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the eggs and mix well
-
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and allow batter to come together.
-
Allow batter to sit in bowl for 10 minutes. While sitting, dice apples (use a corer if you would like).
-
Place parchment paper muffin wrappers into the muffin tray.
-
After the 10 minutes fold in ¾ of the apples into the batter, spoon in the batter until about ¾ of the wrapper is full. Sprinkle (or push) the remaining apples into the top of muffin to add to the visual effect.
-
Bake for about 22 minutes, check at 20... time will vary a little depending on location and oven
Recipe Notes
This batch makes 12 muffins and as there is no butter or oil... I use parchment paper muffin liners, and they work like a charm. Putting batter into another liner or any metal liner might create sticking... even if greased. These are done when they are able to have a fork or toothpick come out clean... old trick but it works!
Don't forget you can throw in raisins or nuts if you would like with the apples!
