Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sugar (granulated or brown)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg, room temperature

Add-Ins

  • 1 cup diced fresh apples, peeled and chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Proper preheating ensures your muffins rise evenly and develop that soft, fluffy interior.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together:
  • flour
  • oats
  • baking powder
  • baking soda
  • cinnamon
  • salt
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk:
    Greek yogurt
    sugar
    applesauce
    egg
    Mix until smooth and well blended.
  • Bring the Mixtures Together
    Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix only until combined—overmixing leads to dense muffins.
  • Add the Apples
    Fold in the diced apples, making sure they’re evenly incorporated.
  • Fill Muffin Cups
    Line a muffin tin with wrappers or lightly grease it. Fill each cup about ¾ full for even baking.
  • Bake
    Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool & Serve
    Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Store muffins in an airtight container for best texture.
  • Substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup if preferred.
  • Best served slightly warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
