Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:12 muffins
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups granola
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granola, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the granola to soften slightly.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
Use lightly sweetened granola for the best flavor balance.
Fold in berries, nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips for variety.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
