Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups gluten-free oats blended, (I use Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Rolled Oats and blend them in a blender)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 apples, (1 apple grated and 1 apple diced)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahreneheit. Line a muffin tin with non-stick muffin liners.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend oats until they turn into a flour consistency.
  • Add the oats to a large bowl followed by the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and salt, and mix well.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the shredded apple, most of the diced apple (reserve some for topping the muffins), eggs, greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Scoop batter into muffin liners, filling them to about the brim of each liner. Top with remaining apple pieces and bake in the oven at for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean when inserted in the middle of a muffin.

Notes

To make them festive for the holidays, allow the muffins to cool and then sift powdered sugar on top of them.
