Apple Oatmeal Muffins are a deliciously wholesome treat that will satisfy your morning cravings. Packed with nutritious ingredients, the muffins offer a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making them a perfect snack or breakfast option for busy days.
When making Apple Oatmeal Muffins, don’t hesitate to swap out the whole wheat flour for regular all-purpose flour if that’s what you have on hand. For a dairy-free version, almond milk or oat milk works wonderfully. And if you’re avoiding eggs, flaxseed meal mixed with water can be a great substitute. Just ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise, and always wash your apples thoroughly, especially if you opt for organic varieties.

Apple Oatmeal Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/8 cups whole wheat flour (pastry)
- 1/8 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1 cup skim milk
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 apple, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a big bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: 1 1/8 cups whole wheat flour, 1/8 cup sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 cup quick oats.
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 1 egg, slightly beaten, 1 cup skim milk, and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; don’t over-mix.
- Fold in 1 apple, chopped, stirring gently until the apple is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into greased muffin tins, filling each cup almost to the top since the muffins don’t rise much.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
