Cinnamon Apple Oat Muffins!
These Cinnamon Apple Oat Muffins are my favourite go-to fall breakfast right now. They are the perfect breakfast to make ahead on a Sunday and enjoy all week long. These muffins incorporate both applesauce and diced apples to maximize flavour. I went apple picking and made a big batch of applesauce to use in these muffins, but you can also use store-bought, unsweetened applesauce. The addition of applesauce also makes these muffins super moist.
These muffins are a healthier version of your typical muffins. They are vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. They’re made with whole grain oats to provide you with quick energy and include almonds and soy milk for added protein. You can also add additional protein to these muffins by swapping out 1/2 cup of oat flour for your favourite unsweetened protein powder. My favourite is Botanica Perfect Protein. You can also enjoy these muffins with a glass of soy milk or a handful of nuts for additional protein and healthy fats to keep you feeling full throughout the morning.

Hi. The ingredient list calls for 1/2 cup of milk, but the instructions never say when to add in the milk? Did this ingredient just get left out of the instructions?
