Apple Oatmeal Muffins For Fall
September 30, 2013 17 Comments
Sometimes, Snack Girl goes on a food jag. Her latest is apples.

I get obsessed with a particular food and need to cook with it all the time. Perhaps it is because I have a yard with some apple trees that are looking beautiful right now.
I decided to make an apple oatmeal muffin because it sounded good and my children are always demanding muffins. Of course, the ones they want are made with twice the sugar and three times the fat and white flour. BUT, they like these - enough to stop bothering me for muffins.
These are fast to make – just one bowl – and if you are swimming in apples – you can freeze them for later consumption. I eat one with my afternoon coffee as a treat.
They are a little too sweet to have as the only food for breakfast. I would, of course, pair them with an apple and peanut butter since all I can think about is apples.
