BREAKFAST MUFFINS shouldn't be boring...

Follow May Eighty Five for more easy recipes!

These easy apple muffins are so soft, moist and each bite is loaded with fresh apples, cinnamon + nutmeg, then finished with a buttery brown sugar oat topping that gets crisp and caramelized in the oven.

Greek yogurt + oil keep the muffins incredibly tender, while rolled oats give them just a little extra texture.

👉🏼 Comment RECIPE and I’ll send you the full recipe straight to your DMs OR https://mayeightyfive.com/apple-muffins/

My biggest tip? Don’t overmix your batter. Fold only until the flour disappears to keep your homemade apple muffins soft + tender.

INGREDIENTS

MUFFINS

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ cup olive or neutral oil
1 cup milk
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp vanilla
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 cup diced apples

OAT TOPPING

¼ cup rolled oats
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp melted butter
Pinch of salt

HOW TO MAKE THEM

Mix the topping ingredients until crumbly and set aside.

Whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt + spices.

In another bowl, whisk oil, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla + maple syrup. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry, then gently fold in the apples. Don’t overmix.

Divide between 12 lined muffin cups and sprinkle generously with the oat topping.
Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool for 5–10 minutes + enjoy. 🍎

The maple adds just enough sweetness to balance bitter greens like kale + arugula, while the Dijon and balsamic keep everything tangy and savoury.

Toss it with apples, pears, roasted squash, sweet potatoes, pecans + whatever else is going into your fall salads. And definitely try it drizzled over roasted vegetables.

Busy mornings don’t need complicated breakfasts...

As a recipe developer and content creator, my mornings usually start at my desk catching up on emails, planning recipes, and getting organized before a full day in the kitchen.

Lately, I’ve been keeping breakfast simple with a loaded breakfast muffin and a cold glass of Dairyland ’s Iced Coffee Protein Beverage.

It’s ready to drink straight from the fridge, has 18g of protein—that’s 2x more protein than regular milk—and is made with real coffee and Canadian milk.

It’s an easy way to bring coffee and protein into my morning routine without adding another step to an already busy day.
