Tart Apple Pie Muffins

I am a sucker for a really good muffin for breakfast. It's simple, delicious and you can take it on the go.
Today I whipped up some muffins with finely chopped pink lady apples folded into them and a bit of cinnamon. If you close your eyes and take a bite it can definitely take care of any apple pie cravings that may have taken control of you!

Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:

Oat flour: 1 cup (You can easily make this by pulsing oats in a food processor or a spice grinder into a fine powder)
Quick oats: 1 cup
Cinnamon: 1 tsp
Baking powder: 1 tsp
Baking Soda: 1/2 tsp
Salt: 1/2 tsp
Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup
Apple sauce: 1 cup
Vegetable oil: 2 tbsp
Egg: 1 (or substitute 2 egg whites)
Unsweetened Almond milk: 1/2 cup (can use regular, fat free milk)
Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
Apple: 1 large finely chopped(something tart like a honeycrisp or pink lady apple)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a muffin tray with paper liners.

2.Combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, vegetable oil, almond milk, vanilla extract and brown sugar. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently mix the two. Finally, fold in the finely chopped apple.

3. With a tablespoon carefully scoop the mixture into 12 muffin cups

4. Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes or until top is firm and a toothpick inserted to the center of the muffin comes out clean.

Enjoy!
