Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line 10 to 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups or grease the bottoms only with butter.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg powder. Mix well.
In another bowl, mix the apple puree and buttermilk until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
For the streusel topping, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and chopped nuts in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins are best served warm from the oven or at room temperature. You can substitute the apple puree with applesauce if needed. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For a nut-free version, omit the chopped nuts in the streusel topping.
