Have you recently gone apple picking? Do you have a ridiculous amount of apples sitting on your countertop? (Sooo guilty) If you do, start your morning with these Gluten-Free Apple Oat Muffins! Not only are these healthy muffins gluten free, they are also dairy free and casein free!
Every fall we head out to the East End of Long Island to go apple picking. Our favorite orchard is the Milk Pail Orchard in Watermill, NY. And we have been picking our apples here every apple season for as long as I can remember. With over twenty varieties of apples, everyone in my family can pick their favorite kind of apple. For some reason, my husband always insists on getting the half bushel bag – which amounts to a whole lot of apples.
My family will be eating apple everything for the next couple of weeks. This morning they enjoyed these Gluten-Free Apple Oat Muffins. Made with oats, gluten free flour and our favorite freshly picked apples! A quick note about these particular muffins, all of the ingredients are blended in my Vitamix so selective eaters won’t be turned off by chunks of apples.
