Ingredients:

1 cup (100 g) oatmeal

½ cup (120 ml) milk of your choice (e.g., almond milk, cow’s milk, etc.)

2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

1 tbsp Olive or almond oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

2 eggs

¼ cup (30 g) walnuts, chopped

Instructions:

Prepare the Oats:

In a bowl, combine the oatmeal with the milk of your choice. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the oats to absorb the milk and soften.

Cook the Apples:

In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Add the chopped apples and sauté for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized. Stir in a pinch of salt and vanilla extract for added flavor.

Prepare the Muffin Mixture:

Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the softened oatmeal mixture, cooked apples, and chopped walnuts. Stir everything until well combined.

Bake the Muffins:

Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Evenly divide the muffin mixture among the prepared cups.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the muffins warm with a pat of butter or drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.

They make a great on-the-go breakfast or snack option.

Cooking Tips:

For added flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the muffin batter.

You can substitute walnuts with other nuts like almonds or pecans.

Make these muffins dairy-free by using plant-based butter and milk.
