Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Sharing is caring!

Apple cinnamon muffins are a favorite muffin recipe for my kids.

These apple cinnamon muffins are moist, not overly sweet, and make the perfect snack or breakfast for toddlers, kids, and adults!

The applesauce and greek yogurt in these muffins make them very moist and adds protein!

We never have leftovers of these apple muffins –  the kids devour them!

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Muffins

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease muffin tin well.
• Add in melted butter, sugar, milk, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla  into a large bowl and mix well.
• Next, add in salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground flax seed, and cinnamon into the same bowl and mix well.
• Add in the flour and mix until combined.  Don’t overmix or muffins could be tough.
• Fold in the diced apple.  Save a little for sprinkling on top.
• Fill up muffin tin 3/4 with batter.  Sprinkle some diced apples on top.  Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Make 12 muffins
• Cool on a baking rack for 5-10 minutes and enjoy!

I let my kids help pour in the ingredients and mix.  It makes them want to try the food more if they are involved in the process of making it. 

I hope you enjoy this easy apple muffin recipe!

Some of our other favorite muffin recipes are spinach muffins, pizza muffins, and blueberry and banana muffins.  All of these muffin recipes are kid and toddler-friendly and have lower/unrefined sugar in them.
