You guys. These muffins are amazing. Sweet, crunchy, comforting, delightful… they’re all that and more. By far one of the best breakfast/snack foods I’ve made in my kitchen.

I’ve become more of a breakfast person over the years. Maybe it’s the busy schedule? The kids? The mornings that get earlier and earlier?

However it happened, I simply cannot go through the morning without some kind of food, ideally something wholesome.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED WHEN MAKING THESE APPLE MUFFINS:

for the muffins:

• 1 loaf French bread
• 1 apple, cored chopped into bite-sized pieces (rec. Granny Smith variety)
• 1 ½ cup vanilla creamer or whole milk
• ½ cup, Greek yogurt
• 4 eggs
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

for the topping:

• ½ cup cold butter
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup flour
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

HOW TO MAKE THESE APPLE MUFFINS:

And the kids? They LOVE them. Can’t get enough. I love that they have protein from the Greek yogurt and eggs, so they are filling and satisfy hunger for hours. My kind of breakfast. Especially for kids who are constantly snacking. This fills them up with all the good stuff!

Plus, it’s a SUPER easy way to make a home-cooked breakfast. Let’s face it, I’m not going to be pulling out the griddle and making French toast on a weekday. Not. Happening.

This way, I can make a batch of these muffins on the weekend, and heat them up throughout the week. These muffins with a little syrup drizzled on top? Heavenly.

handy tools to easily make these spiced apple crumb muffins:

• silicone muffin tin – easy to use without liners, muffins pop right out, easy to clean
• glass nesting bowls – microwave safe, 10 sizes

This recipe comes together in minutes.

Just tear a loaf of French bread into pieces, chop up some apples, and stuff it all into muffin cups. Next, pour a simple mixture of eggs, Greek yogurt, and creamer over the tops.

Top with streusel crumble and pop into the oven.

Golden, sweet perfection. Crunchy on top and soft in the middle– it’s all the best parts of apple crumble.

We love these muffins for any time of day. Warm up and enjoy with a bit of maple syrup!
