Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chopped apples
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2-3 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Beat together the cider, yogurt, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  • Grind the oats until they resemble a coarse flour. Add the oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spice to the wet ingredients; gently mix until combined.
  • Gently fold the chopped apple in to the mixture.
  • Use an ice cream scooper or spoon to divide the mixture into 12 lightly greased or lined muffin tins.
  • When you put the muffins into the oven, lower the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 15-18 minutes.
  • After removing from oven, let cool in pan for ten minutes, then remove from pan.
  • For the glaze, beat together cream cheese, nutmeg, milk, and powdered sugar. Drizzle over cooled muffins as desired.

Notes

These muffins are light and crumbly. If you prefer a heartier muffin, add an additional 1/4 cup flour.
