Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray or muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients - flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Grate the apple then in a separate bowl mix together the wet ingredients - egg, yogurt, applesauce, grated egg and vanilla extract.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Scoop out the batter to fill each muffin cavity 3/4 of the way full.
Bake the muffins for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick can be removed from the center clean. Remove from the oven and cool in the muffin tin 10 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire baking rack or enjoying!

Notes

Stir by Hand: To avoid over-mixing, stir the batter gently by hand to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Store and Freeze: Keep muffins fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat when you're ready!
