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. 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.

Hi Joan.. We are on the same page.. Easy cleanup and prep is key! Thank you for taking the time to comment and rate the muffins and I’m glad you like them!
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!

Thank you!

These muffins are truly amazing! Moist, nutrious, gluten free and soooo easy to make and easy cleanup! I used my blendtec Blender and I literally just made them an hour ago. Thank you for all of your healthy, easy and amazing recipes, you are so appreciated! This will be a regular in our home!
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 🙂
Can I use bananas instead of dates?
Not recommended to do that. Will increase the moisture of the batter.
