Apple Oatmeal Streusel Muffins

Nandita Nataraj with a great healthy recipe for something right between breakfast bread and coffee cake.
By Nandita Nataraj

I love baking muffins. As muffins are low in sugar and fat, they are ideal for breakfast or for quick “inbetween meal snacking”. They become all the more nutritious when they are made out of enriching oats and fruit puree. Even though I have baked muffins earlier, I had never ventured into baking muffins with streusel topping. When I saw the recipe for a stresel muffin in the book muffins and quick breads, I could not resist baking this.

I have made quite a few changes to the original recipe to cut down on the unnecessary fats. The addition of apple puree is just one of them. These muffins are a nice cross between, a muffin and a coffee cake. The highlight is of course, the sprinkling of buttery streusel. These muffins are great either served warm from the oven or at room temperature
