Apple and Spice Oatmeal Muffins.

Apple and Spice Oatmeal Muffins

These Apple and Spice Oatmeal Muffins are written for regular all purpose flour, but they originated from an effort to use up some more of the Bisquick baking mix I had purchased to make the Sausage Cheese Balls over the holidays, and also to work on dwindling down more of that fruit that I still have leftover from the Christmas Mixed Fruit box I also purchased.

Not being a regular connoisseur of baking mix, had no idea how to make the adjustment, so I chose not to add any additional baking powder to the Bisquick and see what the results would be.

Well, I am happy to report that these muffins are just super delicious with just the right touch of sweetness and spice - it was almost like eating a slice of apple pie! They are very moist and tender thanks to the apples, but did not have much of a rise, so I think that adding in 2 teaspoons of baking powder might help with that if you're using the baking mix version.

If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!
