Ingredients

• 3 Small Apples (I used Jazz apples)
• 2 Eggs
• 1 C Greek Yogurt
• 1/4 C Honey
• 2 tsp Vanilla
• 2 ½ C Rolled Oats
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• Pinch of Salt
• 1 Tbsp Apple Pie Spice or Cinnamon
• 1 C Almond Milk

 Optional Toppings

• Blueberries
• Dried Cranberries
• Blackberries
• Raspberries
• Sliced Almonds

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven to 350^o F.  Line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Peel apple skin from the apples with a vegetable peeler and grate on the coarse side of a cheese grater. Set aside (Can cover with water and lemon juice to prevent apples from browning but I just rinsed mine with water and drained them well)
3. In a large bowl whisk the eggs until they start to foam.
4. Add the greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla into the eggs and whisk until the mixture is combined.
5. Add the rolled oats, baking powder, salt and grated apple mix with larger spoon or spatula.
6. Mix almond milk into the batter until it is all mixed in.
7. Use a cookie scoop to place the batter into the cupcake liners.  Can fill them full muffins do not rise much. 
8. Add the topping of your choice
9. Place in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes and just started turning golden brown.
10. Let muffins cool on cooling rack

I placed extra batter in a greased mini loaf pan with toppings and cooked a few minutes longer.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
