These soft, naturally sweet oatmeal apple muffins are made with just 3 wholesome ingredients. No added sugar, no flour, no oil, and no artificial sweeteners. Perfect for a light breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert.

Ingredients (Makes 6–8 muffins)
1 cup (90g) rolled oats
1 medium apple (about 150g), peeled & grated
1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Grind oats in a blender until they become oat flour (or use store-bought oat flour).
In a bowl, combine:
Oat flour
Grated apple (with juices)
Egg
Mix until fully combined. Batter will be thick.
Spoon evenly into muffin cups (fill about ¾ full).
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
