★ Why You'll Love this Recipe ★
Quick, Easy, Healthy
These Healthy Cinnamon Apple Minute Muffins are an awesome and easy snack or breakfast recipe kids can make.
Big kids and teens will have fun making these easy muffins using just 4 basic ingredients. Applesauce, oatmeal, Bisquick and cinnamon sugar. Just mix and microwave for one minute. Kids gobble them up!
I do like to add a pinch of salt and icing on top but that is not required!
Kid-friendly but great for grown-ups, too.
Now, let's say you don't have kids. Well, you're still going to love these for your own dang self—for breakfast, as an afternoon snack or heck, if you're single and living that gypsy life, eat 'em for dinner!
Oatmeal adds extra texture flavor and health benefits - If you're over 30 then you're going to get excited about that extra fiber. Under 30, just be happy about the texture.

★ Tips & FAQs ★
You aren't getting extra junk ingredients like with processed muffins. These are made with minimal ingredients. No oil, no butter, no eggs. Apple sauce sweetens the muffins and oatmeal adds fiber.
Yep. You heard that right. They cook in ONE MINUTE using the microwave and they are light and puffy just like you'd expect a muffin to be.
This recipe is for an individual serving so these cook perfectly in a microwavable mug, ramekin or paper snack cups.
Guys, kids ACTUALLY love these. I have two very picky-eaters and both of them are hooked on these minute muffins.
Obviously, you'll have to be the ultimate judge about whether you feel your child is equipped to handle using the microwave, reaching the mugs, getting hot things carefully out of the microwave, etc. But I can tell you that both my kids at 7 and 9 years of age did not have a problem making these. For younger kids, this could be a fun "let cook together" project to get them uses to measuring, stirring and using hot hands.
These are egg-free, oil-free and low in sugar. Yet, they are fluffy and moist just like a regular muffin! They really do taste fab for such a healthy treat. I think you're going to be pretty stoked when you take your first bite.
So now that you know a little bit about how to make these and what to expect taste-wise, seems weird but you might be wondering exactly how to you eat these glorious one-minute mug muffins? Well, with a spoon. Or you can pop them out of the mug pretty easily and eat them just like a traditional muffin.
