The heavenly aroma of warm apples and cinnamon will fill your kitchen as these muffins bake to golden perfection. Each bite delivers chunks of tender apple nestled in a moist, cinnamon-spiced crumb that melts in your mouth. The miNATURALS Inulin Powder adds a subtle sweetness while boosting the fiber content, making these muffins as nourishing as they are delicious. The crackly cinnamon-sugar topping provides the perfect contrast to the soft interior—creating a truly irresistible treat that will have you reaching for just one more.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons miNATURALS Inulin Powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, miNATURALS Inulin Powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the diced apples and walnuts if using. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. For an optional topping, sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar over each muffin. Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. These muffins taste wonderful warm from the oven but will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days—if they last that long!
