Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with baking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender.
Step 5
Fold in the diced Granny Smith apple pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 6
Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 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
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy these muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
