Made these last night for my 5yo’s lunchbox and had them all ready to go in the oven… but it had a complete meltdown and started smoking the house out, so I covered them, and put them in the fridge overnight (hoping to cook them in the morning).
I got up early, cleaned the oven and put them in for just a smidge over 15 minutes. Cannot tell you how incredible they are. I have tried so many apple muffin recipes involving all sorts of hijinks and food processors and multiple bowls. These are the best ones I’ve ever made. Cannot believe they were so easy.
Thank you so much for the recipe! I think it’s a great base recipe to perhaps modify and shoehorn other fruit / veg in… any suggestions?

Hi Rachel! Oh this is so wonderful to hear! I absolutely adore these easy apple muffins too and you’re right, they are so incredibly simple, especially with only using the one bowl. I’m glad to hear your oven also worked in the end so you could continue baking these and enjoy them, yay!
Yes! It’s a fabulous base recipe and I’ll actually be working on creating various new muffin recipes based upon this one. I think adding some grated carrots and some walnuts or pecans can make for a tasty carrot cake muffin. Or even some grated zucchini for even more additional veggies (squeezing out the excess juice from the zucchini is a must!). Also the addition of cocoa powder can make them chocolatey! As I mentioned, I’m definitely working on more flavours and variations based upon this recipe that I look forward to sharing! Thanks Rachel! x
Thanks so much, Samantha! I just went hunting for the recipe again as I forgot to save it and finally found you again! You’re in my Evernote recipe notebook now 🙂 Yay. Gonna make some more today. Thanks again! X
Hi Rachel! Hehe! Glad you found it again 🙂 You don’t want to lose these delightful muffins! You have just reminded me of them again also, which I’m going to bake again this weekend – yay! Enjoy Rachel! xx
