We love using these silicone muffin pans. In fact we even take them along with us when we travel. They are light and if we don't have muffin cups we just lightly spray them with vegetable oil.We set both muffin pans on a baking tray for ease in taking in and out of the oven. I know you'll love them as much as we do.

📖 Recipe
Nutritious Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Oatmeal Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups old-fashioned oatmeal not instant, quick cooking, or steal cut
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples Granny Smith and Galas are good, I used one of each
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil melted
- ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup almond milk you can use your preferred milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup walnuts
- 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 scoops vanilla whey protein powder *** see notes
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 F.
- Line muffin tins with muffin liners that are sprayed with cooking spray.
- In a large bow add the brown sugar, eggs, melted coconut oil and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the milk, vanilla and when that is smooth add the apple chunks.
- In another bowl combine the oatmeal, cinnamon, baking powder, whey protein powder, salt and mix until combined. Mix in the walnuts. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine.
- Fill the muffin cups to just below the top. As you scoop be sure to stir the ingredients so you get an even mix of oats and liquid in each muffin.
- Bake for 30- 35 minutes. Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Cool completely before storing in sealed container. We wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and then freeze in a zip-lock bag.
- When ready to serve, remove the muffin paper and heat in microwave. They taste as if they were just baked.

Just had a questions about what the size of your protein scoops were?

Hello, what can I use instead of the 3 scoops vanilla whey protein powder? Or can I just omit it all together? This sounds like a great recipe.
Marisa Franca
Ciao!! Yes! you may omit the protein powder. We just added it for additional protein. Enjoy!!

Cheese Curd In Paradise
I love all the pieces of apple and theses look like a wonderful way to start my day! I love muffins- thanks for sharing!
Mirlene
Oh my! I can see my children picking up 3 of those at a time. They are huge muffin fans, especially for breakfast. They think of it as having "cake" in the morning. I must try this recipe for them! Looks great.
Claudia Lamascolo
I love apples and cinnamon and oatmeal what a bonus muffin. My son absolutely loves all these flavors too and these are a perfect addition for me to bring along to his house for Christmas morning when I watch the grandkid open their gifts from Santa 🙂 have a wonderful holiday season and thanks for a delicious recipe!
Farwin|Love & other Spices
They are the perfect on the go breakfast! I prefer these to a bowl of oatmeal!
Marion Harvey
Hi. I'm confused about the calories for this recipe. Is it 700 plus or 201 calorues pef muffin? Also what can I use instead of the oatmeal? Thanks.
Marisa Franca
Hello, Marion! The calorie content would be 201 according to the app I used. These are oatmeal muffins - we make them so that we can get our oatmeal in the morning. If you'd like another type, I have a banana chocolate chip muffin recipe on the blog and there are countless muffin recipes on the Internet.
Marion Harvey
Thank you for your response. I need huge calories to help refeed anorexic D. 1000 cals would be great!! We don't like nuts or oatmeal but was looking at substituting with choc chips and alternative to oats. Realise i need to do texas style. If you have anything i would love to hear. Thx so much.
Veena Azmanov
I love breakfast muffins..! These look so good and perfect for weekend brunch or breakfast. My kids would love it - Yum.
Marisa Franca
Thank you, Veena!! We kind of experiment as we go along. This is a great basic recipe. I think kids get tired of the same old same old as we do -- this was a great change for us.
Gloria @ Homemade & Yummy
These look great. I use old fashioned oatmeal all the time for baking. I think I just might make a batch of these for the weekend. The grandkids are coming for a sleepover, and these would make the perfect snack..especially for me. I will be one tired gramma after the weekend is over.
Marisa Franca
Oh, boy! You'll need extra energy! I know exactly how you feel. Love the kids but they do have so much energy! If you make the muffins we use the processor to cut the apples into little chunks. If the oatmeal seems a little too dry I add a bit more almond milk. You'll have to tell me how it went. ????
Sandhya Ramakrishnan
This is a perfect breakfast on the go! Many days I leave the house without eating breakfast as I am running late. This would be a life saver for me.
Marisa Franca
Hello, Sandhya! I just made another batch today. We've taken to eating a muffin in the morning instead of cooking oatmeal. We enjoy it so much more.
Jean | DelightfulRepast.com
Marisa, these muffins sound fantastic! I like eating oatmeal and nuts every morning, and this is a change-of-pace way to do that. Cant wait to try them.
Courtney
Hi Marisa! I hope all is well! I just wanted to stop by and see if you got my email about the giveaway the other day? Let me know!
Marisa Franca
Hi, Courtney no I did not. I'm sorry I didn't respond.
Ciao Chow Linda
How delightful to wake up to muffins like these! I'd much rather eat these than a bowl of oatmeal.
Marisa Franca
Hi, Linda. It all started with -- we are so tired of cooked oatmeal in the morning. We had to find an alternative and now we look forward to our oatmeal 🙂
Diane P.
This is definitely a keeper!! Thanks for the nutritious post!
Marisa Franca
Hi, Diane! We love nutritious but what we love just as much is easy. We wanted to make something a little easier than our oatmeal bars -- this way they are in muffin form with no cutting involved 🙂
Susie

Gorgeous - those muffins look so beautiful and I bet the house smelled divine while they were baking.

Good Morning, Jovina! The house smelled very cinnamony. Forget about boiling stuff like oranges and cloves on the stove to make the house smell good -- just bake goodies!! I bet you're cooking today -- so are we.
