- In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fold the grated apple into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.

Apple and oat muffins FAQ:
Bake the apple and oat muffins for 18-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
The muffins are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, unflavored dairy-free yogurt, or applesauce for a different texture, but this may slightly alter the flavor and moisture of the muffins.
Store leftover apple and oat muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Use a standard 12-cup muffin tin for this recipe. Fill each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise during baking.
Cooking Tips:
- Grate the apple finely to ensure even distribution throughout the muffins.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling a few oats on top of the muffins before baking.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter; this can make the muffins dense rather than light and fluffy.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
- Use a muffin liner or grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
