Apple Oatmeal Muffins
The moistness of these muffins comes from the shredded apple. These make a great breakfast muffin or a nutritious snack.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups apple, peeled and shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup fat-free milk
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain fat-free yogurt
  • 2 egg whites

Preparation:

Spoon flour into measuring cups and level with a knife. Place flour in a large mixing bowl and add oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir with a whisk.

Combine milk, oil, vanilla, yogurt and egg whites, stirring until well blended. Add wet ingredients to flour bowl and stir until just moist. Blot shredded apple on kitchen paper to get rid of excess moisture, then add apple to mixture and stir.

Spoon batter into a lined 12-cup muffin tin. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Easy and fast !, Member lakelady179

These muffins are delicious. They took less time to bake in my oven. If using apples, I will try to add a little honey or maple syrup to make them a bit sweeter. Also using ripe bannanas in the place of apples if you do not have them would be a great substitute. The base of this recipe gives you many more options. Pinapple coconut is what i am going to try next with the base of this recipe.
