Microwave Oatmeal Apple Muffin

Recipe by @wonderandcharm

We've officially launched our Granny Smith Apple & Sunflower Cinnamon Oatmeal and we're super excited to be sharing an easy microwavable mug muffin recipe that only takes 5 minutes to make! It's essentially an apple pie in muffin form and made with healthier ingredients like oatmeal, banana and natural sweeteners. 

We're calling this recipe a muffin, but it tastes like an apple pie mug cake with cinnamon and maple syrup. Whether you need a quick breakfast recipe or just an easy grab & go, we've got you. 

Ingredients:

• 1 Mylk Labs Granny Smith Apple and Sunflower Cinnamon Oatmeal Cup (feel free to use any flavor that you like)
• ½ medium banana 
• 1 egg or flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp hot water)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp almond milk 
• 1-½ tbsp diced apples

Maple Almond Drizzle:

• 2 tbsp almond butter

1. Shake oatmeal cup.
2. Peel off the plastic covering.
3. Add in the banana and mash with a fork against the cup.
4. Add in the egg, baking powder, almond milk, and diced apples. 
5. Mix together.
6. Without the lid, microwave the oatmeal for 2 minutes.
7. Flip cup over onto a plate to release the muffin.
