  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, granulated sugar, or blonde coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons solid coconut oil or room temperature butter

Apple Muffins: (gluten-free option below)

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar or blonde coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (distilled white or apple cider)
  • 1/3 cup oil of choice
  • 1 1/2 cups cored and finely chopped apple (about 1 large or 2 medium apples)

Gluten-Free Apple Muffins:

  • 1 cup gluten-free measure for measure flour I used King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar or blonde coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (distilled white or apple cider)
  • 3 tablespoons oil of choice
  • 1 1/2 cups cored and finely chopped apple (about 1 large or 2 medium apples)

Instructions

  1. Make crumb topping by combining flour, oats, sugar, and cinnamon in small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix softened butter/oil into the flour mixture until crumbly. Set aside.
  2. Mix together the dry ingredients—flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a small dish, mix together the milk and vinegar. Pour milk mixture and oil into the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Fold in the chopped apples. Let batter rest for 10-15 minutes while oven preheats.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease well. Scoop batter into each liner filling 3/4 full, then sprinkle streusel mixture on top. Makes 10-12 muffins, depending on how much you fill each liner.
  5. Bake the Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tops have domed and a toothpick inserted near the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and let muffins cool for a few minutes before taking out of the pan to cool completely.
