Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.
Step 5
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or berries for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy your healthy whole grain muffins fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
