Bircher muesli muffins are a delicious and nutritious twist on classic muffins. By incorporating muesli, you add a hearty texture and a wealth of nutrients to your breakfast or snack. These muffins are easy to make and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a healthier treat.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, muesli, brown sugar, and spice mix. Stir them together until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, canola oil, and the egg until smooth and well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredient mixture. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Gently fold in the finely chopped or grated apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Evenly distribute the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
