Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely chopped apples (about 1 medium apple)
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped apples and any optional nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, microwave for 15-30 seconds or toast in a toaster oven.
  • Consider these muffins as a great alternative to traditional meal planning services.
