These Healthy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins are filled with real apples and simple ingredients. They are quick and delicious!
I love a good muffin recipe! Because muffins are one of those foods that are totally acceptable anytime of day. Muffins are great for breakfast. Perfect for a snack and just a tad sweet enough for dessert. I created this recipe to be a bit on the healthier side. I included rolled oats and lots of real apple pieces. Many apple muffin recipes call for applesauce but I love the texture of the actual apple in this muffin. This is such an easy recipe to make and something everyone will love!

Healthy Apple Oatmeal Muffins
For this recipe, I used RubyFrost Apples because of how well they hold up while baking. They soften with baking but don’t lose their shape or become mushy. RubyFrost Apples are also wonderfully balanced flavor-wise and a nice balance of tart and sweet. They work really well in the muffin and don’t even turn brown so they look great too!
I love all the healthy, whole ingredients in this muffin. Like the oatmeal, cinnamon and real apple pieces. Because the RubyFrost Apples taste so great, I only needed to add a small amount of brown sugar to sweeten things up. Since these muffins have way less sugar than normal muffins, they are a great to enjoy anytime!
Oatmeal Apple Muffin Recipe Tips
I am including a few tips for making this recipe since it’s just a bit different. The batter will be on the drier side and since there is a large ratio of apple pieces to batter, you’ll want to scoop these into the muffin tin. You can fill them up and they will puff up slightly. These muffins will also be quite dense. You will want to store these in the fridge or freeze and then warm up. Because of the fresh apple pieces, they will only stay good at room temperature for up to two days. Especially in humid climates, you’ll want to store these in the fridge.
