Looking for a fantastic muffin recipe to bake this fall? Make these Heart Apple Oat Muffins loaded with cinnamon and finished with an easy maple glaze.
These muffins are perfect for an afterschool snack or quick breakfast on the go. The best part? I found that they’re even better the next day! They’re crazy moist thanks to all the delicious diced apple (from 1 large or 2 small apples).
You want fairly small apple pieces here. No need to peel the apples either AND you don’t have to worry about the temperature of your butter because this recipe uses melted butter.
You could skip the maple glaze I suppose but it’s such a nice touch and only takes a minute to stir together! Look how delicious. I would smother this maple glaze on just about anything.
This is definitely going to be a go-to recipe for me every fall when apples are in season.
