Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffin

Call me a muffin freak ..... coz I just bake 3 batches of muffin in 2 days only ..... well 1/2 recipe each batch ......

This recipe is my modification of the last muffin, just replace the banana with 2 grated granny smith apple, replace the cocoa powder wit 4 table spoon of flour or oatmeal & add some cinnamon powder & a hand full of raisin .......

Second best muffin recipe I've ever tried ........

Cocoa Banana Oatmeal Muffin

So, I still crazy about muffin ... This recipe I got also from Mbak Vania blog .... & she got the recipe from Quaqer Oatmeal site ...


So far this the best recipe I've ever tried ... Dense, yet so moist & is not crumbly .... perfecto, just like muffins from the professional bakery ...

This time I'm not using any baking paper ... just a non stick muffin pan grease with margarine ...
The recipe is for 10-12 delicious medium size muffins .....

Ingredients
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 small)
1/2 cup fat-free milk
5 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
2 egg whites or 1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered sugar (optional)
I add a hand full of chocolate chip on the batter & topping


Heat oven to 180°C.
In large bowl, combine flour, oats, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda; mix well. In medium bowl, combine bananas, milk, margarine, egg whites and vanilla; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Do not overmix.)
Fill muffin cups almost full. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool muffins in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Store tightly covered.


I promise you ... you will not taste any oatmeal on this muffin .... !!!
