Feel-Good Apple Muffins

My sister passed on this super easy recipe.  I love it when you can just throw everything in to the blender and pour the batter straight from the canister!  I've made these several times because they are simple and tasty while still checking the low-processed-foods box.  Within the original recipe post, there are several links to similar muffin recipes that I can't wait to try.
 

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 8 medjool dates, pitted (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup real maple syrup
  • 12 apples, grated (about 12 cups total)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of sea salt and/or cinnamon (optional)
  • coconut / seeds / nuts / butterscotch chips (optional, for topping)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix all ingredients in a blender until a chunky batter comes together.
  3. Pour batter into a greased or lined muffin tin. Sprinkle with butterscotch chips. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tops gently spring back when you press into them.

  1. Sprinkle warm muffins with sea salt if you’re into that kinda thing. Serve warm or cold ALL DAY LONG.
