These hearty and wholesome muffins have a subtle sweetness that makes them a delicious and nutritious breakfast option for kids and adults alike. A perfect fall flavor — any time of the year!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are recipes that I get right on the first try — and then there are those that need a few rounds of testing, approvals from the family (including my variety-loving Hailey and my more-selective Kaitlyn).<\/p>\n These Apple Cinnamon Oat Muffins score high across the board, and that’s good, because it means that I can make a big batch for nibbling on all week, or put some away in the freezer to heat and eat at any time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These muffins are a perfect make-on-Sunday-eat-all-week option for several reasons. First of all, they are a wholesome breakfast choice. Loaded with oats, freshly grated apple and cinnamon, the muffins make for a nutritious, low sugar start to the day.<\/p>\n They do take a little prep work, but by using your food processor to turn the oats into flour and grate the apple (both tasks that kids love to help with- loud noises!), it really is quite simple.<\/p>\n Now let me blow your mind real quick.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I made these muffins multiple times and was so frustrated because they kept sticking to the liners. After some research (a natural baker I am not), I found out why. Most healthy muffins will stick to liners because they do not have enough grease in them to make them slide out. Unless your muffin or cupcake has a decent amount of oil\/lard\/etc, it will stick.<\/p>\n …don’t tell me if you already knew that.<\/em><\/p>\n Solve this easily by giving your liners a quick (and light) spray of oil. I prefer this coconut oil option:<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a>Success!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are a few other products you might find helfpul if you’re making these:<\/strong><\/p>\n Back to the muffins. Healthy is great, but they have to taste good too, right? Absolutely. By combining oats with bread flour, the texture is hearty yet soft.<\/p>\n Coconut sugar<\/a> (which does not taste like coconut to me) is an unrefined alternative to brown sugar that offer its subtle sweetness that is not overpowering.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So welcome fall by baking up a batch for a cozy Saturday breakfast or to have on hand for breakfast all week!<\/p>\n [Tweet “Make a batch of these delicious cinnamon apple oat muffins to heat and eat for a taste of fall, any time of the year! from @ahealthyslice!”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>\n
