Preparation Time:
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup (100 g) oatmeal
½ cup (120 ml) milk of your choice (e.g., almond milk, cow’s milk, etc.)
2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
2 eggs
¼ cup (30 g) walnuts, chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Oats:
In a bowl, combine the oatmeal with the milk of your choice. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the oats to absorb the milk and soften.
Cook the Apples:
In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped apples and sauté for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized. Stir in a pinch of salt and vanilla extract for added flavor.
Prepare the Muffin Mixture:
Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the softened oatmeal mixture, cooked apples, and chopped walnuts. Stir everything until well combined.
Bake the Muffins:
Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Evenly divide the muffin mixture among the prepared cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the muffins warm with a pat of butter or drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
They make a great on-the-go breakfast or snack option.
Cooking Tips:
For added flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the muffin batter.
You can substitute walnuts with other nuts like almonds or pecans.
Make these muffins dairy-free by using plant-based butter and milk.
