Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Greek yogurt
• 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
