Serves: 12 Muffins
Ingredients
  • For the Muffins:
  • 1 large apple (I used Granny Smith), peeled and cubed (relatively small)
  • 100 g (1 cup) oat flour (or flour of choice, see post for ideas)
  • 45 g (1/2 cup) old-fashioned whole grain oats or quick cooking oats
  • 60 g (about ⅓ cup) brown sugar (or granulated sugar of choice)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 125 g (about ½ cup) plain or vanilla yogurt (see post), I'm using Siggi's vanilla yogurt 2%
  • 2 eggs
  • 120 mL (1/2 cup) milk of choice, I'm using almond milk
  • 60 mL (1/4 cup) olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Crunch Topping:
  • 2 Tbsp old-fashioned whole grain oats or quick cooking oats
  • 25 g (2 round Tbsp) fine chopped walnuts
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • ¾ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 375 F
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine dry ingredients: oat flour (or flour of choice), oat flakes, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking soda, mixing to combine.
  3. Add chopped apple pieces to the dry ingredients and mix again to coat.
  4. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and yogurt until fully integrated and smooth. Add milk, oil and vanilla and whisk again.
  5. Add wet ingredients to dry, mixing just enough to combine without over-mixing.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cinnamon crunch topping ingredients: oats, walnuts (or nut of choice), sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Divide the muffin batter among 12 well-greased muffin cups and top each cup with a sprinkle of cinnamon crunch mixture.
  8. Place in oven and bake for 14-18 minutes until muffin tops are golden and slightly firm to the touch (don't over-bake). Note that if you are using a different flour, cooking times may vary.
  9. Remove to a cooling rack for 10 minutes or so, before carefully unmolding.
  10. These muffins store and freeze well. Enjoy.
