Nutty Oatmeal Muffins with Apples and Bananas

Ingredients

Oatmeal: 1 cup (90 grams)
Nuts: 80 grams (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped
Cranberries: 50 grams
Stevia: 1 tablespoon
Sesame Seeds: 1 tablespoon
Apple: 1, peeled, cored, and diced
Banana: 1, sliced
Vanillin: 1 teaspoon (optional, for flavor)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal, chopped nuts, cranberries, stevia, sesame seeds, and oat flakes.

Gently fold in the diced apple and sliced banana. If using, add the vanillin for extra flavor.

Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy warm with a cup of tea or coffee.
Great with a smear of yogurt or a drizzle of honey.
