Directions
Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin well or pop in some paper liners to make cleanup easier. In a big bowl, mix together the oats, oat flour, cinnamon, allspice, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Then add in the chopped apples, yogurt, eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla—stir everything until it’s nicely combined. Gently fold in the walnuts last. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean. Let them cool a bit before enjoying!
