Apple and Oat Muffins

I love making muffins, because they are so quick and easy to make. You don’t have to cream the butter and sugar together as you do with a cake. Just mix up the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients, add any additions like nuts or chocolate chips, and you are done.

This is one of my favourite muffin recipes. The apple and oat mixture adds a lovely texture to the muffins. The oats provide a good source of fibre and as oats are well known for lowering cholesterol you can eat them without feeling guilty. I leave the skins on the apples too, for extra fibre.

I like to mix up a batch and keep it in the fridge overnight. Then I just pop them in the oven for 20 minutes. By the time I’ve finished my wake up coffee, they are ready to eat. Instant breakfast – what could be easier?

The company that Graham works for doesn’t have a canteen, so these Apple and Oat Muffins are ideal for popping in with his sandwiches. I also pack a couple for him when he goes fishing.

You can make the muffins with grated apples, but I’ve found that using a spiralizer is so much more fun. A couple of turns of the handle and you have a pile of apple spaghetti. You don’t have to core the apple either – the spiralizer just cuts around the core and you can throw it away when you are done.

You need to chop the spiralized apples into shorter lengths so that they distribute evenly in the muffin batter.

How to make apple and oat muffins

Mix the muffins

Collage of 4 images showing steps for mixing apple and oat muffins.
  • The first step is to mix the oats and wet ingredients together. Leave the mixture to stand and soak while you prepare the other ingredients (image 1 above).
  • While the wet ingredients are soaking, spiralize (or grate) the apples and chop roughly with a sharp knife. You have to chop the spiralized apples so that you can distribute them evenly through the muffins.
  • Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl (image 2 above). Add the apples and mix to coat (image 3 above).
  • Pour in the oat and milk mixture (wet ingredients) and give it a stir until just combined. Do not overmix (image 4 above).
  • If you are adding additional ingredients such as sultanas or nuts, cut and add them now.

Prepare the muffin tins

  • Line a muffin tin with paper cases and spoon in the mixture.
  • Sprinkle each muffin with a little brown sugar. This will give a lovely crispy topping to the baked muffin.

Bake

Bake in a pre-heated oven (200C / 400F) for about 20 minutes until well risen and golden.

Equipment

  • Spiralizer or grater
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Spatula
  • 12-hole muffin tin

Ingredients

  • 50 g (½ cup) Rolled Oats
  • 250 ml (1 cup) Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract / Essence
  • 100 ml (7 Tablespoons) Sunflower Oil
  • 1 large Egg (lightly beaten)
  • 200 g (1¾ cups) Self-raising-Flour
  • 90 g (7 Tablespoons) Brown Sugar
  • 7.5 g (1½ teaspoons) Baking Powder
  • 10 g (2 teaspoons) Ground Cinnamon
  • 2.5 g (½ teaspoon) Salt (optional)
  • 2 medium Apples (spiralized or grated)
  • 100 g (½ cup) Sultanas (optional)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200°C / 400°F
  • Place the oats in a bowl and mix in the milk, lightly beaten egg, oil and vanilla
  • Spiralize the apples and chop roughly
  • Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, add the baking powder, cinnamon, salt, sugar and mix to combine
  • Add the apples and mix to coat
  • Add the oats and milk mixture and mix briefly to combine. Do not overmix.
  • Mix in the sultanas if using.
  • Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper baking cases and spoon the mixture evenly into the cases
  • Sprinkle each one with a little brown sugar
  • Place the tray in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Notes

You can substitute the self-raising flour for wholewheat flour.
You can substitute the sultanas for chopped nuts (pecan or walnuts would be good).
Chop the spiralized apples roughly into 3 to 4 inch pieces (6 to 10 cm) so that they combine evenly in the batter.
Don’t overmix the batter.  Mix just sufficiently to combine all the ingredients.
You can test whether the muffins are cooked by inserting a metal skewer into the centre.  If it comes out clean then they are cooked.
Because the oats and apple make the batter quite dense, these muffins do not rise very much.
