Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 12 muffin tins with muffin liners.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, salt, cinnamon, allspice, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar. Add the oil, applesauce, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Stir in the grated apples.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- While the batter rests, make the oat streusel. Combine the brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the cold butter and cut into the mixture with a pasty cutter or fork until the mixture comes together.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin tins. Sprinkle the oat streusel generously over each muffin.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 13-16 minutes, or until the muffins are fully set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy!
