These delicious muffins are free from refined white flour, sugar and butter; not the ideal kind of fuel to put in your body. Instead, they're made from oats, which are one of the best complex carbs. Oats are low GI and are full of soluble fibre that helps keep you full and also can help lower cholesterol. Ground linseed (flaxseed) adds a good dose of omega 3 and the addition of cinnamon and apple makes them taste just like an apple crumble, YUM.
Serving Size - 10 Muffins
Ingredients
200 g (2 cups) organic rolled oats
125 g (1 cup ) wholemeal spelt flour
25 g ( ¼cup) golden flaxseeds
80 g (½ cup) raisins

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup Greek style yoghurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 apples
Directions
Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F
Combine oats into a bowl with linseed, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, yoghurt, eggs, oil, honey, and vanilla.
Soak for 10 minutes to allow oats to soften.
Add 1 grated apple with the skin and juice that comes from grating.
Add the spelt flour and mix through lightly to form your muffin batter.
Spoon into muffin tins that are lined with muffin cups.
Sprinkle with oats and place into the oven.
Bake for 15 minutes 160 C then slice the other apple into 10 thin slices and place a slice of apple on top of each muffin.

Lightly brush the apple tops with a little honey.
Serve and enjoy.
Tips
Gluten free option - substitute the oats with rolled quinoa and replace the wholemeal spelt with almond meal.
Dairy free option - replace the yoghurt with coconut yoghurt or silken tofu - just whip it a bit before mixing into the oats.
