What makes this muffin different from the other ones I have made? This one isn't as healthy as the other ones; I use a little bit of butter and buttermilk for this recipe. Taste wise, you might like this a little better because the apples are crunchy, yet moist and the muffin has more flavor. I really like the pepitas addition because it brings out a nutty flavor.
The inspiration for this recipe came from Pinch of Yum. They are a husband and wife team, the wife being the food blogger and the husband is behind the scenes. They have a cute and successful blog that helps you start out your own food blog. I adapted Pinch of Yum's Oatmeal Flax Blueberry Muffin recipe to create my Oatmeal Apple Pepitas Muffin recipe.
Oatmeal apple Pepitas Muffins Print
Yields: 12 muffins
INGREDIENTS
1 cup rolled
oats
1 cup
buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar)
1 ½ tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
⅓ cup brown
sugar
½ teaspoon
vanilla
½ cup + 1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoon golden
flax seeds
½ teaspoon
baking powder
½ teaspoon
baking soda
¼ teaspoon
salt
1 apple,
peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons raw
pepitas, divided
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease
a muffin pan with butter and set aside.
2. Combine the oats and buttermilk in a
mixing bowl and let the oats soak for 20 minutes. Add the melted butter, egg,
brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
3. Add the flour, flax seeds, baking
powder, baking soda, salt and 1 tbsp of pepitas. Stir until evenly moistened.
4. Before adding the apples to the
mixture, scoop a spoonful of batter into each muffin tin. This prevents the apples
from sinking to the bottom of the muffins and you will have a nice solid base. Fold
the apples into the remaining batter.
Fill muffin tin about 3/4 of the way full. Top with remaining 1 tbsp pepitas.
5. Bake muffins for 20 minutes, or
until golden brown.
