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

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

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).

      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. 🙂

      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. 🙂

      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
