Quick Apple and Oat Muffins
I cannot express to you how delicious and yummy these muffins are. Beyond the fact that they are sugar free, flourless and nutritious. All of the ingredients come together to give you a beautiful texture and taste.
We all know you have that fall season apple bag sitting on your counter. And you’re like me, wondering what you’re going to do with all these apples. Well, I got you covered!
The beautiful part of this recipe is that you probably already have all of the ingredients on hand. And they all get prepared in one place: your blender or food processor. So simple to clean up. Please make these and then please come back and leave some reviews on the site. Thank you.
The coconut shreds are totally optional; you can leave them plain and they will still be hella delicious naked. Or try some butterscotch chips if you wanna get wild.
Quick Apple and Oat Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 8 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 apples, cored + grated
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. Spray your muffin tray with coconut oil or use muffin liners.
- Combine all the ingredients in your blender or food processor. Blend until a smooth yet chunky batter forms.
- Transfer batter to your muffin tray (add toppings now if using). Bake for 15-18 minutes; tops will gently spring back when pressed in.
- Allow to cool 15 minutes in pan before removing.
Can I use bananas instead of dates?
Not recommended to do that. Will increase the moisture of the batter.
I made a double a batch of these muffins today. One batch is regular sized muffins and the second is mini muffins. The kids loved them!!
A person prepared! LOVE it! My kids love these too 🙂
Woow very delicious thank you 🙏 the 176 calories for the whole muffins?
SO happy you love them…me too! Thats what the nutritional calculator came up with on my WordPress Blog…
🙏🙏
Thank you!
Can I use oat flour instead of the rolled oats? Or would that change the texture?
Yes you can use it and yet it probably will slightly change the texture. I would still do it. Add all of the other ingredients to the blender (the dates especially need to be chopped into small pieces). and then mix in the flour until just combined. Enjoy!
I love any recipe where you throw everything in the food processor. These muffins are delicious! I forgot to put coconut on top – next time.
