I love having these Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins with my coffee in the morning. There's just something about the combination of Apple and Cinnamon that I absolutely love. And these muffins are just like eating a bowl of oatmeal.
While I pride myself in publishing recipes that use simple ingredients that you almost always have on hand, this muffin recipe might require a visit to your local grocery store.
Between the Greek Yogurt, Almond Milk and Rolled Oats, you might not have all of those ingredients in your pantry. But trust me, it will be worth the trip to the store. These muffins are delicious!
💭 Ingredient Substitution
I like to use Honeycrisp Apples when making these muffins but you can use whatever kind you have as long as they are good for baking. Besides Honeycrisp Apples you can Gala Apples or even some Golden Delicious Apples.
If you are going to try this recipe, be mindful that the consistency of these muffins will not be like a traditional muffin. This recipe does not call for any flour and uses greek yogurt and honey as a binder for the apples and the oats. If you like eating Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal, you will like this muffin recipe.

These apple cinnamon oatmeal muffins are very moist. I have never made muffins with yogurt and did not know how they would turn out. But they were number 1 in my book.
