Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 apple, finely chopped or grated (about 1 medium apple)
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk, then let sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg. Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

Add the oat and almond milk mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped or grated apple until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Healthy Low Fat Apple and Oatmeal Muffins!
