Healthy Apple Muffins




Once a week or so I like to make muffins for breakfast.  So when I came across this recipe here I was excited to try them.  They were a hit with the whole family and I will definitely be making them again.

Healthy Apple Muffins
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil (I used coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup honey 
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats {quick or old fashioned} + 3 tbsp for topping
  • 1 1/4 cup crushed bran cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used one cup wheat and half a cup white)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and coarsely grated 
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar 
  •  
  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line your muffin tin with paper liners
  • Mix the eggs, oil, milk, honey, yogurt, and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl until well blended.  Add 1 cup of the rolled oats and the crushed bran.  Let soak for 10 minutes.
  • In another bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.  Add the wet ingredients in and mix until blended {the batter will be quite thick}.  Stir in the grated apple.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and fill up almost to the top {they rise very little}.  
  • Mix brown sugar and the remaining oats together and sprinkle on top.
  • Bake for approximately 15 minutes {until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean}.  Makes 16.
