Equipment needed for this recipe
For these grated apple muffins, use a muffin tin lined with muffin liners to bake the muffins without having them stick to the sides. A food processor is needed to grind up some of the oats to a flour consistency. Mixing bowls will be needed for combining the ingredients, and a whisk will help combine the ingredients. A cookie dough scoop will help you scoop equal amounts of the dough into the prepared muffin tin.

I made the recipe with a few little tweaks. I had no flax seed and I added walnuts. Shredding the apples was challenging so I just used a slicer on them. I made large muffins instead of the mini muffins and they were nice and moist on the inside.
