Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Grease or line a 12- cup muffin pan with muffin liners. Set aside.
Step 2
Using a food processor, blitz all of the dry ingredients together on high speed until thoroughly mixed and the rolled oats are of a coarse grind. Set the dry mix aside in a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add all the wet ingredients except for the grated apple into the food processor and blitz until well combined.
Step 4
Form a well in the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients, grated apples and fold through until just combined. Scoop batter into the muffin pan and divide equally.
Step 5
For the topping, lightly brush the sides of the thinly sliced apples with coconut oil and gently push 2-3 slices into the batter. Do the same with the handful of frozen blueberries, pushing 3-4 gently into the batter.
Step 6
Bake in the oven between 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of a muffin emerges clean.
Step 7
Let cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
