INGREDIENTS

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with coconut oil spray or line with silicone baking cups or paper liners. Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, yogurt, egg, honey and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. With a rubber scraper, mix together well scraping down the sides of the bowl. Batter will be thick. Fold in the apples.
