Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup quick oats
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups apples diced (between 1-2 apples, depending on size)
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup walnuts chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin tin by lining it or spraying with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add in the vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract and stir together.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine all of the dry ingredients and stir well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and gently mix together. Fold in the chopped apples and chopped walnuts.
  • Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, distribute the batter evenly among the muffin tin. Bake for 19-22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!

Notes

Gluten-free option: Use Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour instead of all purpose flour and opt for certified gluten-free oats.
 
Optional baking method:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the filled muffin tray in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Then reduce the heat of the oven to 350°F and bake for the remaining time, checking them a few minutes early to ensure they don't overbake. This higher temperature at the beginning will promote the rapid rise of the batter, creating more of a domed top.
