What Makes This Recipe So Good
A comforting and nutritious way to start your day. It combines wholesome oats with the natural sweetness of apples and warm spices, making it both satisfying and flavorful. Plus, it’s packed with fiber and vitamins, helping you stay full and energized longer.
Directions
Gently heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin. In a big bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, chopped apple, raisins, pecans, flax meal, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give everything a good stir, then mix in the oats until it’s all well combined. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so the oats can soak up the liquid. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to fill each muffin cup evenly. Pop them in the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, until they’re lightly golden on top. Once done, let the muffins rest in the tin for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
