Here’s a healthy, low-calorie muffin recipe for Weight-Loss Mini Muffins – Apple, Raisin & Oat that’s naturally sweetened and flourless:
Ingredients (makes ~12 mini muffins)
- Rolled oats – 1 cup
- Apples – 1 medium, peeled and grated
- Raisins – ¼ cup
- Egg – 1 large
- Unsweetened applesauce – ¼ cup (adds moisture and natural sweetness)
- Cinnamon – 1 tsp
- Baking powder – 1 tsp
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
- Optional: chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) – 2 tbsp
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or use liners.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and optional nuts.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg with grated apple, applesauce, vanilla, and raisins.
- Combine: Stir wet ingredients into dry until well mixed. The batter will be thick.
- Scoop into muffin tin: Fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full.
- Bake: 15–18 minutes, until tops are firm and slightly golden.
- Cool: Let muffins cool slightly before removing from tin.
Why They’re Weight-Loss Friendly
- No added sugar or flour – natural sweetness from apple and raisins
- High fiber from oats and fruit keeps you full longer
- Portion-controlled with mini muffins
These are perfect for breakfast on-the-go, a mid-morning snack, or even a dessert substitute.
If you like, I can also give a version that’s keto-friendly using almond flour and stevia.
