Healthy Apple Oatmeal Muffins
I love making these Healthy Apple Oatmeal Muffins for my kids. They’re great for breakfast, hot & fresh in the morning, or I can bake ahead the night before if I anticipate a hectic morning ahead. They’re also great to bake & freeze. They defrost quickly in the microwave for a quick after school snack. I’ll also bake these to take with us if we’re going on a road trip, or sporting event across the state, so they can have a filling snack while we’re on the go!
Optional flavor additions: 1 cup fresh berries; 2/3 cup dried fruit, ½ cup chopped nuts
To begin, gather all ingredients, and measure them out, to ensure you have everything you need to complete the recipe. Next, combine the buttermilk, oats, eggs, sugar and any optional flavor additions you are using in a large mixing bowl. Separately, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Sift.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-muffin tin or use muffin liners. Fold dry sifted ingredients gently into wet ingredients until just combined. Fill muffin tins and bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. {I use a muffin batter scoop, to get an easy, even distribution!} Loosen from pan immediately and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
Notes: These may be frozen and defrosted individually later for snacks.

Just made these. The batter was like soup, and they came out flat… Disappointed

I bake a lot. I often try new recipies to lackluster results. These are my new favorite. Quick and perfect snack size for kids lunches.
