    Lightened up Skinny Apple Peanut Butter Mini Muffins are bursting with peanut butter flavor and bits of Granny Smith apples. I love popping these little mini muffins in my mouth! Aren't they just soooo cute?  

    Skinny Apple Peanut Butter MIni Muffins

    Besides being super moist, (by using banana and peanut butter) I've added in a secret ingredient to get some protein in, by adding in some Quaker Banana Nut Protein Oatmeal. So besides skinny, you get a little more protein, and heart-healthy along with extreme yumminess too! Yay!  

    However, if you don't have access to the Banana Nut Protein Oatmeal, you can easily replace with any healthy quick oats.

    Skinny Apple Peanut Butter MIni Muffins

    I love this Quaker Banana Nut Protein Oatmeal for breakfast, and now I have it in these muffins and these 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Nut Oatmeal {No Bake} Protein Squares as well. Think I should tell Quaker?  Maybe I will... 🙂  

    Oatmeal IS one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast, and I've been known to eat it for a snack and dinner too.  I absolutely love baking with it.

    Skinny Apple Peanut Butter MIni Muffins

    Oatmeal is definitely a staple in our home.  Now mind you, if you don't have the Quaker Protein Oatmeal, you can use any kind of oatmeal, you just need about a half cup.

    If you like skinny & healthy mini muffins, you could also try my Skinny Peanut Butter Banana and Chocolate Muffins {GF} and my Healthy Mini Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Muffins. So, don't fret, and make these Skinny Apple Peanut Butter Mini Muffins ASAP!  No pun intended, but my muffin-top was very, very happy! 🙂

    • ½ cup Granny Smith Apple 40 calories, diced small
    • 1435 divided by 20 mini muffins = 71 calories each

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray your mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
    • In a large bowl, using mixer, combine together the mashed banana, peanut butter, agave or honey, vanilla or almond extract and beat until combined.
    • Add egg and beat into mixture.
    • Beat in the salt, baking soda, oatmeal and oat flour. Do not over-mix or muffins will be become dense and lose flavor.
    • Fold in the diced apples until just mixed.
    • Using a small cookie scoop, scoop 1 full scoop of the muffin mixture into each muffin cavity. Add a sprinkling of oats on top if you want for decorative purposes.
    • If you want larger muffins, this recipe will make 7-8 muffins.
    • Bake mini muffins at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Larger muffins 11-13 minutes.

    Notes

    If you don't have oat flour, you can process your own oat flour, by taking oats and pulsing them in a blender/food processor until they are a flour like consistency. Be sure to measure the oat flour after pulsing or the amounts will be off.

      Hi Deb! You can reduce it to 1/4 cup or leave as is. It's such a small amount. Normally Oat Flour equals 1 & 1/3 cups ratio to 1 cup of all purpose flour. Hope that helps! Happy Baking!

      Kim,
      These sound yummy, can I substitute AP flour for the oat flour?
