Apple Muffins and Fall Rambling

Happy Fall Ya'll! Okay, okay...I know the "actual" first day of Fall isn't until September 23rd, but in my heart, September 1st is the day. ;) I don't care if it's 95 degrees outside, I can't wait to get a pumpkin spice latte and put some pumpkins on the mantle and spiderwebs on the door! 

As a Fall kickoff, I decided to try a new recipe for healthy oatmeal apple muffins. They were super easy to make, and taste amazing. As always, my little beggars were on the kitchen floor waiting patiently as patiently as could be expected for a taste. Love my little gremlins.

Here is the recipe:

Oatmeal Apple Muffins

Ingredients:

1 egg

3 bananas, mashed

1/2 cup applesauce

1 tsp. vanilla

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup old fashioned oatmeal

1 1/2 cup flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Combine applesauce, egg, bananas, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix well. (Will be a little lumpy from the mashed bananas...that's okay)

3. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and oatmeal in a separate bowl and mix.

4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well.

5. Fill each muffin tin about 1/2 way with batter. (I had enough batter left over for 6 more muffins, so really this recipe can yield up to 18 muffins depending on how much batter you use in the tin.)

6. Bake for about 18 minutes. Insert toothpick to check if done.

See! Super simple, and healthy enough to serve to the little ones for breakfast or snacks. They really taste as delicious as they look too!

Oh, and in case you were wondering, they got Baylee's stamp of approval! ;)

Happy September everyone! Here's to cool weather, apple cider, and falling leaves on the horizon!

Until next time...XoXoXo
