Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins

I love to enjoy a muffin or two in the mornings for an indulgent breakfast, or even for a delicious on-the-go snack.

These Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins have been hitting the spot, and satisfying my cravings for early autumn baking, too.

These muffins are moist and fluffy (as well as being a little dense), perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and LOADED with apple chunks. I’ve added oats for extra delicious chewiness – YUM!

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these muffins. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

• Plain/all-purpose flour
• Quick oats
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Ground cinnamon
• Ground ginger
• Ground nutmeg
• Large eggs
• Caster/granulated sugar
• Buttermilk: See my recipe notes below on how to make your own.
• Vegetable oil
• Vanilla extract
• Apples: You’ll need 2 small apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small chunks.

How to make Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins

To make these muffins, simply start by whisking together the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and light in colour. Add the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.

Add the dry ingredients in thirds and whisk in until just combined – do not overmix. Fold in the apple chunks. The mixture will be thick and somewhat lumpy.

Spoon the mixture into a muffin pan lined with muffin cases (filling to the tops), and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 5 – 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
