1. Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, mix the grated apples, eggs, yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey. Stir until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients
Add oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes β this allows the oats to absorb moisture and thicken naturally.

Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F).
Pour the mixture into silicone molds or muffin tins (as shown in the image). Fill each one about three-quarters full.
4. Bake
Bake for 25β30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Insert a toothpick into the center β if it comes out clean, theyβre ready!
5. Cool and Serve
Let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the molds.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of yogurt if you like.
