Homemade Applesauce Cinnamon Blender Muffins

I love me some blender muffins and I’m so excited to share this super healthy apple cinnamon blender muffin recipe with you today. It is AWESOME! And it’s super-duper easy because the blender does all of the work for you. This recipe is made without traditional flour and is instead made with whole grain oats that you process in your blender until they make an oat flour. A little bit of applesauce, some maple syrup, and a few other ingredients really make these muffins simple and healthy. Just toss it all in the blender and let it go. Bake for 15 minutes and you’re done.

Because this recipe is so simple, it is the perfect recipe to make with your little kitchen helpers. They can help measure and dump things into the blender and then push the buttons as needed (my kids love helping use my blender!). And before you know it, you’ll have super healthy apple cinnamon muffins that make a great snack, breakfast on the go, or side to your favorite soup or chili.

We love these muffins and know you will too.

Tips and Tricks for Making Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins:

  • One more reason to love your blender! I have a refurbished Blendtec and have loved it for almost 4 years now.
  • No applesauce? No worry! If you have a good blender, you can just throw in about 8 ounces of apple (cored) and blend them up before you blend up the oats. I did that a few times and it worked great. I left the skins on, too.
  • These aren’t super sweet muffins (and I’m ok with that). If you want a sweeter muffin, you can use vanilla Greek yogurt or add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup or brown sugar.
  • You can change up the flavor a bit by subbing the cinnamon for apple pie spice. Delicious!
  • These muffins freeze great, just FYI. You can use them for healthy breakfasts, easy snacks, or as a side to your favorite healthy lentil chili, Healthy Alphabet Soup (healthy, meatless 30-minute meal), or Tortellini Soup with Spinach (also a healthy, meatless 30-minute meal).

  1. Just found this recipe while I was researching for my food prep business! I made a batch but added walnuts, cranberries, and a hand full of whole rolled oats after it was combined in the blender and DANG GIRL! These are awesome! I am confident these will be a favorite in the rotation!

  2. These look amazing! Quick question – Do you think these can work with an immersion blender? Thanks!

  3. These muffins are easy and the kids love- which right off the bat makes them a win, but no refined sugar and fluffiness push them over the edge. Thanks!






  4. I want to make the Apple Cinnamon Muffins it looks like a good one, can I add small chunks of apple to it with out add more to the recipe

    1. Ohh this recipe doesn’t have it! I’ll update the recipe. You can always pop it into MyFitnessPal if you need it quicker than I get it done. ENJOY!
