Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup plain yogurt, full-fat
  • 2 cups baking apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped (approximately 2 apples)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C), ensuring it reaches the right temperature for even baking of the muffins.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to blend all your dry ingredients uniformly. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which takes about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated, then add the plain yogurt and beat again until smooth and combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined; the batter will be thick, so be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the finely chopped apples, mixing just until evenly distributed throughout the batter to keep the mixture light.
  7. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners or spray with nonstick baking spray. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to evenly divide the batter into the cups, filling each about 85% full.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, oats, flour, butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle this topping over each muffin cup generously.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This ensures the muffins are cooked through but still moist.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. This prevents sogginess and helps set the muffin structure.

Notes

  • These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months.
