Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease a muffin tin with avocado oil or line it with muffin liners.
2. Soften the Oatmeal
In a bowl, combine the oatmeal with the warm milk. Stir to mix and let it sit for 5–10 minutes to soften.
3. Prepare the Apples
While the oatmeal is soaking, peel, core, and chop the apples into small cubes. This ensures even distribution in the batter and a pleasant texture in the muffins.
4. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanillin (or vanilla extract), and eggs (or flax eggs if vegan). Mix until well combined.
5. Combine the Ingredients
Add the wet ingredients to the soaked oatmeal and stir until smooth.
Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
7. Bake the Muffins
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.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
