  3. Then in a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy.

  9. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups. Fill about 3/4 of the way.

Makes about 12 muffins

Notes:
  • You can substitute the butter for any other oil if you prefer or applesauce. To make dairy free use coconut oil or applesauce instead of butter.
  • Stovetop cinnamon applesauce is fantastic in these muffins!
  • You can substitute brown sugar, coconut sugar, or honey if you prefer.
  • This recipe is easily doubled and freezer friendly.
To Store:
  1. Place completely cooled muffins in an airtight container or zip top bag.
  2. Store on the counter for up to 4 days. This is only a guess as to how long the muffins can be stored on the counter. I usually freeze most of mine and only remove what we need for two days at a time.
To Freeze:
  1. Place muffins on wire rack directly into the freezer.
  2. Flash freeze for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove muffins and place into zip top freezer safe bags.
  4. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
To Use:
  • Thaw on the counter for a couple of hours or microwave for a few seconds to defrost.

Making a batch of these muffins is a great way to use up leftover instant oatmeal that the little ones didn’t finish. I also save apple slices that the kids don’t eat in the freezer. I simply chop up the slices and store them in a freezer safe quart bag. Once I have about half a bag I use them to make these muffins.

The kiddos love these Apple Spice Instant Oatmeal Muffins. They are one of their favorite breakfast or snacks. They are also awesome in lunch boxes!

Have a great day!
