Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely diced apple (about 1 medium apple)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This is your dry mix.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until combined. This is your wet mix.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix them gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine.
- Fold in the diced apple pieces gently.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store your healthy meal prep muffins in an airtight container.
Notes
- For extra satiety focused snacks, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter with the apples.
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, increase the brown sugar to 3/4 cup.
- These muffins freeze well for future grab-and-go breakfasts.
