Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Base:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups peeled, diced apples (about 2 medium apples)

For the Crumble Topping:

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup cold butter (or coconut oil), cubed

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

          Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use a fork or your fingers to mix until crumbly and the butter is well incorporated.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Evenly distribute the crumble topping over each muffin.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Apple Crumble Oat Muffins warm or at room temperature, perfect with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey!
