I have more than happily shared in years past on my blog how my family loves to go apple picking in the fall. It is on our fall bucket list annually to go apple picking.
That said, I have also made more than a few yummy apple picking inspired recipes each year. I also enjoy trying new apple recipes each year, as well.
Don’t get me wrong while I plan on making some of our favorites from years’ past; I still will be trying a new recipe with our pickings.
One that comes to mind is Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins. I mean my family happens to love muffins for breakfast, snacks and more.
So, makes sense to give apple muffins a try now.

These Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins are easy enough to make. But delicious and so tasty.
Of course, the star of the recipe is the apples. But this one also includes old-fashioned oats. Oats are seriously such a great and healthy ingredient to use, such as here. Maple Syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bananas are included in this Apple-worthy recipe.

Well, then check out my simple step-by-step recipe below.
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins Recipe
A fall classic dessert or breakfast recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Old Fashioned Oats
- 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
- 1 large Apple, peeled, cored and cubed (about ½ cup of apple cubes)
- ½ teaspoon of ground Cinnamon
- 2 very ripe Banana, should yield 1 cup of mashed banana
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ cup of Maple Syrup
- ¼ cup of Milk, nondairy milk will work too
- 1 teaspoon of ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of ground Nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Liberally grease a muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- Toss the cubed apples with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and keep aside. Mash the bananas into a smooth pulp.
- In a large bowl combine the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, and maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk it well into a smooth batter.
- Add the oats and baking powder. Gently mix it all together.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This would let the oats soak up the liquid.
- Pour about 2 tablespoon of batter into each muffin pan. Top with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon coated apples. Add another 2 tablespoon of muffin batter on top of the apples. Sprinkle another teaspoon of apples on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Gently take out the muffin from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- It’s best enjoyed warm, right off the oven. Refrigerate the leftovers.
- Reheat the muffins for 30 to 45 seconds in the microwave for the oven fresh taste.
There you have it. The perfect fall apple-picking recipe that the whole family can indeed enjoy with Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins.

We always went apple picking each fall. Making some sort of apple pastry or pie or muffin or applesauce is part of the season around here. I love the smell of the cinnamon. Great school morning starter!
William Holland says
I’m allergic to cinnamon, unfortunately, but these look delicious.
I hope you have a fabulous week, my friend. The kids are in school and you now have a bit more time for yourself, hopefully.
Janine says
Oh gosh, I am so sorry to hear that you are allergic to cinnamon. But I bet you could leave it out and still enjoy this one. Btw, my kids are home today and tomorrow as our school here observe the Jewish holiday. As you know, we are not Jewish. But still, they are home nonetheless. So, not as much time here for me just yet. Still, wishing you a wonderful week ahead now, too 🙂
Cynthia says
How prettyyyyyy! And so yummyyyy! I had to dash off this morning and so couldn’t get here right away, but it was worth the wait. Worth the wait! You are so creative with recipes and the fun things you make. And apple picking is such an “autumn” thing to do and so fun. What a great tradition you’ve created. Yay! I’m so glad you shared this – I will have to bake some of these -and wishing you a *wonderful* week!

Janine,
I love FALL! It is always so hot in the South so I truly enjoy the Fall season. Not only is it cooler but I love to bake especially Fall Baking. I never get tired of tasting and smelling foods made with nutmeg, cinnamon, all-spice, ginger. The smells fill the house and make it smell so comforting. Delish!
Blessings,
Diane
Janine says
I am so with you and I never tire of baking either, especially in the fall with all the sweet fall spice smells 🙂
