My mom made these apple muffins for us last week while she was visiting. And I made them again for breakfast this morning. These muffins aren’t too sweet, and they’re not too indulgent. Rather, they’re the perfect pick-me-up to start a slow morning or a great healthy snack on a cool fall afternoon. They’re on the healthy side, made with spelt flour or whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and almond milk. My favorite part of them is the juicy chunks of apple on the inside that make them wonderfully moist.
Change Up These Apple Muffins!
I love this apple muffin recipe as-is, but you could definitely play with the mix-ins or spices to vary your morning muffins. Here are some suggested variations:
Use dried cherries, cranberries, or raisins in place of the nuts, or try a combination of the two. Add 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger. Make them apple crumble muffins by brushing the tops with butter and sprinkling them with brown sugar!

Try this cinnamon apple crumble, an apple pie, or apple crisp next!
*make sure your oat flour is gluten free, some brands are not because they process their oats alongside other grains. (ie. the Bob’s Red Mill brand is gluten free).
