Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup oat flour (blend one cup of oats into oat flour)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar or sugar-free sweetener
2 large eggs
1/3 cup 0-fat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk (or more if needed)
1 cup peeled and chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)

Instructions

Add one cup of oats to a blender and blend them into oat flour. Leave the other one cup of oats whole.
Add the rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sweetener to a large bowl. After that, thoroughly mix these dry ingredients.
Crack the eggs into a separate large bowl. Then, add the 0-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk these wet ingredients.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients a little at a time, until fully combined, avoid over-mixing the batter. *Some sugar substitutes absorb more liquid, so if the batter is too dry, add another tablespoon of milk at a time as needed.
Peel and core the apples. Then, evenly chop them into small pieces. Next, gently fold the peeled and chopped apples into the muffin batter.
Spray a non-stick silicone muffin pan with oil or line a muffin tin with parchment muffin liners. After that, use a large ice cream scoop to pour the batter into the muffin pan, forming 10-12 muffins.
Bake the muffins at 350°F for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Then, let the muffins slightly cool and enjoy!

Notes

Apples: You will need one cup of peeled and chopped apples for this recipe. This is about two medium-sized apples. Some great apple options are Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Gala, or Fuji.
Evenly Chop Apples: Chop the apples into small even pieces so they cook at the same rate and don’t overpower these muffins.
Don’t Over-Mix: Avoid over-mixing the muffin batter. Over-mixing can lead to dense muffins. Gently fold in the chopped apples to avoid over-mixing.
Gluten-Free Oats: To ensure these apple muffins are gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats.
Blend The Oats: You can blend all two cups of oats into oat flour if preferred, rather than leaving half of them whole. We like the texture whole oats add to these muffins, but you could always blend them.
Storage: These muffins will last 1-2 days at room temperature on the counter when stored in an airtight container or 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Or, you can freeze them for 1-2 months.
