  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  1. Preheat the oven 375 degrees. Coat the muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Mix together oat bran, whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Place dates and hot water into small bowl. Mash and mix with a fork until pasty. It’s ok to have chunks.
  4. In a separate bowel, whisk together date mixture, olive oil, egg, egg yolk, and Greek yogurt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients being careful to not over mix. Gently fold in the apples, making sure to evenly distribute throughout the batter.
  6. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter in each muffin tin. Evenly sprinkle each muffin with rolled oats. (Optional)
  7. Bake about 20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown.
  8. Allow muffins to cool 5 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool an additional 10 minutes.
