My family loves these Maple Oatmeal Muffins. However there are so many muffin recipes are loaded with sugar and butter that you might as well be eating a cupcake. And although sometimes there is nothing wrong with indulging here and there, it’s definitely not doable on daily basis. At least not for me. This recipe is different. It has no added sugar and just a little bit of butter. Maple syrup and apple butter pick up all the slack.* The best part is that my son loves them, which means that these have become a staple in our house for breakfasts and after-school snacks. And I don’t have to feel bad about him eating them.
*Just make sure you use 100% pure maple syrup and 2-ingredient apple butter (apples and apple cider concentrate). Otherwise your muffins will end up loaded with sugar and corn syrup despite your good intentions.
