Calories: 233kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt 180 g
- ⅔ cup honey 220 g
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- 2 cups oat flour 210 g
- ½ cup packed vanilla whey protein powder 40 g but will vary based on brand
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup peeled & diced apple peeled (115 g, about 1 medium apple)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper or silicone liners, and set aside.
- Peel the apple and dice it into 1/4-inch square pieces. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, honey, eggs, and oil. Whisk together until smooth.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, add the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ground ginger, and nutmeg. Whisk together.
- Pour the dry ingredients in a bowl with the wet ingredients and stir together until there are no lumps or streaks of dry ingredients.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold the diced apples into the batter.
- Using a 2-ounce scoop or large spoon, divide the batter between the muffin wells.
- Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 16-20 minutes (17 minutes was perfect for my oven), or until the tops are golden and they can pass the toothpick test.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before enjoying.
