• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 cup Diced apple (peeled and finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the grated lemon zest and set the bowl aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Greek yogurt, honey, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, vanilla extract, and milk to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
