Delicious and wholesome muffins made with Greek yogurt and applesauce, perfect for a quick breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (Non-fat or 2% for a protein boost)
  • 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce (Acts as the natural sweetener and moisture)
  • 1 cup Rolled oats (Old-fashioned oats provide the best ‘hearty’ texture)
  • 1 large Egg (to help the muffins hold their shape)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup Freshly diced apples (adds ~10 cals per muffin) (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (if your applesauce is very tart) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 8 liners or grease with a light coat of cooking spray.
  2. Place the oats in a blender first and pulse until they become a coarse flour, or keep the oats whole for a chewier texture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, applesauce, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. If using diced apples, fold them in last.
  5. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soak up the liquid.
  6. Scoop the batter into the 8 muffin cups, filling them almost to the top.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched and are no longer wet.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 3 months.
