Apple oat muffins

In my effort to continue to get rid of all of our freshly picked apples, I found this recipe online, made a few changes, and it was super easy and yummy! The original recipe can be found here if you are interested. I'm VERY happy with how these turned out! They are not as much on the sweet side, so I'm picturing me in the morning, with my cup of coffee and one of these beauties, alongside my Greek yogurt and fruit. My 7 year old LOVED it for his after school snack. He had 2 of them with some yogurt. Score Mom!!!

I try very hard to keep my refined sugar intake to a low but you'll see I did throw in a little bit of brown sugar. To me, the combination of apples, brown sugar and cinnamon is second to none. Try throwing some walnuts into the batter as well. I did not because my kids are not big on nuts in their muffins. That, however, would have made me even happier with this final product......the things you do for your kids, right?? Next time, I'll make a special "Mommy batch."

If you use gluten free ingredients, then this is another great GF recipe. If you've been following me for awhile then you know I've chosen to decrease the amount of wheat in me and my family's diet, so I've been making quite a bit of gluten free recipes lately. My reasoning for that are for another post, for another time. Until then, read this fabulous recipe and then use the apples (that I know you have during this prime picking season) and ENJOY!!
