Muffin Recipe – Apple Oatmeal Muffins

I wrote the other day about baking muffins for the hubby. I mentioned that I made two kinds for him – espresso and apple.  I have shared the Espresso Muffin recipe and today it’s time to show you how I made the apple muffins. I again started with a basic recipe from Muffins from A to Z. This one I changed a lot more from the original though so it’s really a whole new recipe. They are very moist and full of sweet/tart pieces of apple. Sometimes I add raisins, sometimes I don’t.

Apple Oatmeal Muffins

Makes 15 – 18 medium muffins

2 cups white whole wheat flour
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
3 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 large apple – peeled, cored and cut into small pieces
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup sugar in the raw

Optional: 1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 400°
Prepare a muffin tin either by greasing the cups or lining them with paper cups and spraying with cooking spray.
In a large bowl mix together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking power, baking soda and salt. Mix well.

Add the apple pieces (and raisins if using) and toss to coat.
In a medium bowl mix together the buttermilk, canola oil, orange juice concentrate, maple syrup, brown sugar and egg.
Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold together until just combined. Don’t over mix.

Using a large scoop or spoon add the batter to the prepared muffin tin.
Sprinkle the top with the sugar in the raw.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove and let cool on a wire rack.

I love these muffins. The pieces of apple don’t cook to mush so they still have a bit of texture which is a lovely surprise in the muffin. The cinnamon adds nice flavor and they are a delightful breakfast treat.
