Believe it or not but this week I bought my very first muffin. I can’t remember that I ever went to a bakery in my life and bought a muffin. I always thought it is such a waste to buy muffins because making muffins are so easy and quick. This week I was in such a hurry and had to do a lot. After having breakfast at 6:30 am and not having eaten anything until 5 pm I was starving. I went to a bakery but all the sandwiches were not appealing to me but then I saw a single wholemeal apple muffin and I thought I should give it a try. To my surprise this muffins was incredible delicious.
I was so inspired by this apple muffin that I decided to make my own version of this muffin. I love, love creating my own recipes, even though there is a risk that I fail. But if I succeed and my creation turns out well I could not be happier. My Apple Almond Muffins were a success creation and it this put me in such a good mood all day long. For my taste the muffins were even better than from the bakery (the next day the muffins taste even better). In addition, these muffins are a little bit healthier than chocolate muffins for example.

INGREDIENTS
- 75 g unsalted butter

- 25 g fine rolled oats
- 50 g whole cane sugar (such as Muscovado)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

- Add the egg, yogurt and milk to the cooled down melted butter and mix well.
- Stir the butter-egg mixture together with the grated apples to the dry ingredient mixture.
- Stir until the dry ingredients are moisture. Don’t over mix because then this will make the muffins tough.
- Fill the batter into muffin cups (almost to the top) because the muffins will rise only a little bit. Sprinkle the muffins with almonds flakes.
