There is nothing better than the smell of cinnamon and apples in the kitchen on a crisp morning. These muffins have become a staple in our house because they are packed with good stuff like oats and Greek yogurt, yet they feel like a real treat. My kids reach for them every day, whether they are tucked into a lunchbox or grabbed as a quick snack after school.

The secret here is using a blender to get the perfect texture. The oats, yogurt, and spices whirl together in moments, and adding the apple chunks at the end keeps everything moist and flavorful. I love adding a little brown sugar streusel on top for that extra bit of crunch, but they are just as lovely without it if you are looking for something a bit simpler.

🧺 Ingredients

1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
3 eggs
3 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups Honeycrisp apples, roughly chopped (peel on)
4 tablespoons butter, melted (for streusel)
1/3 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all purpose flour (for streusel)

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a muffin tin.
2
Combine all the muffin ingredients except for the apples in a blender. Pulse and blend for about 15 to 20 seconds until mostly smooth but still holding a bit of texture.
3
Add the chopped apples to the blender and pulse for another 15 to 20 seconds until the apples are incorporated into the batter.
4
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and flour with a fork or your fingers until the mixture looks like small, sandy pebbles.
5
Let the batter sit for 10 minutes, then pour it into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full.
6
Sprinkle a spoonful of the streusel topping over each muffin.
7
Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the tops spring back when you touch them gently.
8
Cool the muffins in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before removing them.

💡 Tips

Store these muffins in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh for several days. They taste wonderful warmed up for a few seconds in the microwave with a tiny pat of butter on top.
