Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins: Easy Breakfast Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use paper liners for easy removal.
2. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Set aside for later.
3. Make the muffins: In a large bowl, whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together applesauce, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chopped apple.
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the top of each muffin.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
