Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats (blended into oat flour (180 g))
- 2 medium apples (peeled and chopped (300 g))
- 4 large eggs ((200 g))
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional (3 g))
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin pan. Grease well or use silicone liners, since the batter has no oil or sugar and can stick to paper.
- Make Oat Flour: Blend the rolled oats on their own into a fine flour with no large flakes left.
- Blend the Batter: Add the chopped apples and eggs to the blender with the oat flour. Blend until mostly smooth, then add the cinnamon and pulse once more to combine.
- Fill the Cups: Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each most of the way since they do not rise dramatically.
- Bake: Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the tops are golden and the centers are set and spring back when lightly pressed. Do not overbake, or the muffins will dry out.
- Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. They firm up as they cool and release more cleanly. Serve warm.
Notes
Use sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp, since the apples are the only source of sweetness. Do not overbake, to keep the muffins moist. Stir mix-ins like raisins, walnuts, or chocolate chips in by hand after blending so they do not get pulverized. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days (refrigerate after the first day) and reheat to serve warm.
