A healthy and Sugar free Eggless muffin for breakfast / snack made with Apples, cinnamon and Oats. Excellent snack for kids and adults alike
Oatmeal and Honey : the classic breakfast combo
Both ingredients are favourites of my little minion. As she is looking for any excuse to eat a Non-indian breakfast, I find that this is one in which a lot of fibre is added, fuss free. Oatmeal FTW, right ?
We have a Oatmeal treat day for her : homemade oatmeal topped with various toppings ranging from sunflower seeds to choco chips and sneaked in Apples too 🙂 What all moms need to do, whew ????????
Normally, this would be an everyday thing for those who eat sweetened Oatmeal for breakfast, unfortunately as a family we prefer something savoury. So the Oatmeal trick works and provides a nourishing eat for the kiddo too.
Oatmeal in muffins, why not 🙂
I have turned the Oatmeal + honey combo into another breakfast-on-the-go dish with this Sugarfree Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins. Cinnamon is a great pair with Apples and it made perfect sense to make these cute pick-me-ups.
Let’s get to the recipe.

Tips to make moist Sugarfree Eggless Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins topped with Oats Streusel
- Sieve the flours well
- Keep all ingredients at room temperature including the fruit puree
- Grease the cupcake / muffin liners if not non stick
- Do not over mix the wet and dry ingredients, simply fold till no dry streaks are found
- You may sub the wholewheat flour with All Purpose (liquid proportion may slightly vary then)
- Bananas are an egg substitute used here. If using eggs, either skip the bananas or adjust dry – wet ratio accordingly
- You may add white / brown sugar in place of honey if you don’t prefer sugarfree treats. Adjust fruit puree quantity accordingly. Do a taste test before pouring into the baking mould.

Nothing better than a fresh muffin to grab as you run out the door in the morning.
I'll slather mine with butter and have it with coffee please!
