This is the recipe I cooked up in my head on my run Saturday. It’s super easy, healthy and can work for breakfast or a snack.
Healthy Apple Oatmeal Muffins Recipe
{Serves one – 250 calories – Whole Grain – Can be Gluten Free}
Ingredients:
-
1 packet apple cinnamon oatmeal (use g-free oats if you prefer)
-
1 Tb. nut butter
-
1 egg, beaten
-
1/4 cup diced apple
-
(optional) dash each: cinnamon, salt, baking soda
Directions: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine ingredients. (If you keep your nut butter in the fridge heat it in the microwave to make it easier to mix first.) Place in sprayed silicone (or paper) muffin liner. Bake for 20 minutes or until set. Enjoy!
These are super healthy, mildly sweet but still delicious. And the apples keep ‘em moist.
Question: Muffins – breakfast or snack food?
I can’t follow a recipe to save my life, but used this for inspiration to use up some ingredients going bad. Lesson learned – steel cut oats do not equal instant oats (the taste was amazing, the texture was just a little off, but with some extra sunbutter slathered on it, it was still just fine :D).
Those look so delicious! I love the idea of using an oatmeal packet and keeping it simple, yum!
YUM! These look delicious! Thanks for the recipe I will be trying these out this weekend 🙂
oooo those look so yummy! Must try! 🙂 thanks for the recipe!
Oh my goodness. This looks so good. I’m going to try this with cashew nut butter. Thanks for sharing

Both though I usually “reserve” them for weekend brekkies – it’s kinda my treat coz weekday brekkies’ are toast or crackers with PB. I like them for afternoon snacks – ok, no “rules” for this one. 🙂
Yum! And I say anytime food 🙂
Such a simple and easy recipe…can’t wait to try these! The only problem is…when I make muffins I can’t stop! I’ll eat them for breakfast, snack, lunch or dinner!
Anytime is muffin time!
I have an unfortunate muffin addiction that I cannot kick so for me it’s breakfast, every day. But really, they should be a sometimes kind of snack. These look yummy and like something you could actually eat more regularly
Monica,
Yummy looking muffins!
Where did you find that “recipe” creation program where you can type in the names of the ingredients and the program calculates the nutritional information?
Thank you!

Both, for sure. Breakfast when they’re fresh and warm, snack once they’re cold. It’s temperature specific. 🙂
I think both 🙂 These look awesome!
Yum Yum Yum! I love this. I say both. If I eat them for breakfast I need more than one because I get hungry 🙂
Both!
Yummy!
Do you think they would be good if I made a bunch and fridged em/ heated up in the microwave? Im usually rushed in the morning but these look super good.
breakfast!
Defiantly both.
Love simple recipes like this!
Great recipe and looks SUPER easy! Thanks for sharing!
I like them as a snack. Making them protein packed makes them perfect!
This is awesome! I love recipes that are for one serving! Sometimes you just want one and don’t want the rest hanging around, you know? What a great idea! Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely pinning this to make later!
both! but most of the muffins that are store-bought are so sugary their more of a snack food. If I make it myself I can usually pass it as nutritious enough for breakfast, this one definitely passes the breakfast test
Cupcakes – food forever! Snack, breakfast, dessert for dinner… Sweet stings which don’t happen are bad never.
Wow those look super easy and delicious! I’m gonna have to give those a try for sure!!
yum! muffins…anytime food!!
Perfect addition to my daily egg!
Both… I can never eat just one.
Tell your head and your run thanks for this! Making these this weekend.
YUM! Thank you for sharing!
BOTH!
Yum!!!!!!
This looks even healthier than my Unhealthy Apple Jack Oatmeal-less Muffins Recipe. Way to go!
I love muffins. I think they make a great snack. A bit small for my kind of breakfast:-)
