3 large Honeycrisp or Fuji apples, diced
1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup rolled oats
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into uniform 1/4-inch cubes.
Toss the diced apples with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup in a bowl.
Divide the apple mixture evenly among the 6 muffin cup slots.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, protein powder, remaining cinnamon, maple syrup, and chopped pecans.
Fold the Greek yogurt into the oat mixture until a thick, crumbly dough forms.
Top each apple-filled muffin slot with an even amount of the protein-oat crumble.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for best texture. For a gluten-free option, ensure your rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
