Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins

February 17, 2023

This healthy recipe is the perfect kid-friendly recipe, as it is quick and easy to make and helps teach kids nutrition and the importance of healthy swaps when cooking or baking.

Spending quality time with your family is important in creating meaningful and lifelong memories. Cooking and baking is always a great bonding activity. Baking with kids also teaches them valuable life skills they can carry into adulthood. Not to mention leaving them with the feeling of satisfaction, of learning something new, and a sense of accomplishment.

This healthy apple cinnamon recipe is made using oat flour, which makes for a great substitute for wheat flour as it contains a nutritious profile and has an abundance of fibre that aids with digestion. We’ve also swapped out unhealthy refined sugar with our organic antioxidant, healthy powerhouse honey, Cinnamon & Honey. Lastly, instead of using butter or vegetable oil, we’ve opted for grapeseed oil as it contains high antioxidant properties.

Ingredients

2 cups oat flour
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup grapeseed oil
½ cup cinnamon & honey
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup mixed shredded and diced apples

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix oat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, allspice, and salt in a bowl. Mix in a separate bowl egg, oil, apple sauce, vanilla, and honey. Combine the two mixtures and fold in grated and diced apples.

Use muffin paper liners or oil muffin tin and pour in batter, to fill below the rim so they don't flow over. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Let cool, and drizzle with cinnamon & honey for a little added sweetness!
