I’ve been on a breakfast kick as you can see! I just absolutely love having a variety of muffins in the freezer so that the kids can pull them out when they like to have one for breakfast!
You had to of known that I would be making an apple cinnamon oatmeal muffin especially after I made these blueberry ones and these pumpkin muffins!
These Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins are equally good!
To make these muffins I simply followed my basic recipe and added a touch more cinnamon and of course apples to them!
The crumb topping I went a little further and added oats to it as well! It was definitely an added bonus to the top!
HOW TO MAKE THE MUFFINS:
Ingredients:
- Flour: Binds all of these ingredients together.
- Butter and Eggs. Adds moisture and flavor to the muffins.
- Old Fashioned Oats: A little touch of whole grains that adds texture and a little heartiness to the muffin.
- Brown sugar: Gives these a touch of sweetness.
- Ground cinnamon: Helps bring out that traditional apple flavor!
- Powdered sugar: Makes the glaze extra thick and beautiful!
- Fresh apples: The perfect fruit to bake up and adds a touch of sweetness to the muffins.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 ℉. Line muffin pan with liners. Set aside.
- FOR THE MUFFINS: In large bowl add butter, milk, eggs, vanilla and brown sugar. Whisk together until completely incorporated.
- Add in flour, oats, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir in apples until combined.
- Scoop into muffin liners. Set aside.
- FOR THE TOPPING: In small bowl add butter, flour, sugar, oats and cinnamon. Stir together.
- Sprinkle the top of each muffin with a little of the topping mixture.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool.
- FOR THE OPTIONAL DRIZZLE: Whisk together powdered sugar and milk.
- Drizzle over muffins.
- Serve and ENJOY!
NOTES & STORAGE:
- Start off with a good liner. I have tried several but so far lately it seems these parchment paper liners are working the best.
- Moisture is key to making these muffins soft and delicious! So don’t skip on the milk or pumpkin
- You can make a variety of these such as these Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins.
- TO STORE MUFFINS: Place in an airtight container on counter top for up to 3 days. In refrigerator for up to 6 days. In freezer for up to 2 months.
