How to make oatmeal muffins with apple
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 12 muffin cups with liners or lightly grease them.
Whisk together GF all-purpose flour, GF oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat sugar, egg, oil, and milk.
Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
Add the peeled and cubed apples to the batter and mix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Fill the muffin cups ¾ full, dividing the mixture as evenly as possible.
Bake for 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins should come out clean, with no streaks of batter.
Let cool before removing.
Storing
Store the muffins in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
