These apple oat muffins have maximum apple flavor, and are perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack. They are also filling thanks to whole wheat flour and oats making them a hearty breakfast treat.

These apple oat muffins were born from my need for tasty baked goods, but also the need to use up nearly an entire bag of apples that had turned mealy before we could finish them. I hate throwing away food, so I needed to find a use for less than optimal apples, and cooking them seemed the way to go.

I debated making a small batch of applesauce, but muffins seemed like just the thing I needed for a fall morning. I also wanted something that would be toddler approved, and I’m happy to say these make the cut — Finn loves these for his morning snack.

These apple oat muffins are easy to whip up – I think the most time intensive part is peeling and chopping up the apples, which really doesn’t take very long. After that it’s waiting until they are finished while the house smells so amazing!

I hope you enjoy these muffins!
