How to Make the Best Healthy Apple Muffins
Healthy eating doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor, and these healthy apple muffins are proof of that. Made entirely in the blender with no butter, oil, or refined sugars, they deliver all the warmth and comfort you’d expect from a classic muffin while keeping things guilt-free. The natural sweetness comes from ripe bananas and pitted dates, creating a moist, tender crumb that’s hard to believe is actually good for you.
What makes these muffins stand out is the perfect balance of warm spices—cinnamon and a hint of clove—combined with fresh apple pieces and creamy Greek yogurt. The texture is incredibly tender, and the whole wheat flour adds nutritional value without any bitterness. They’re the ideal grab-and-go breakfast or afternoon snack that tastes indulgent while actually nourishing your body.
Best of all, the entire mixing process takes just a few minutes with your blender, making these muffins as convenient as they are delicious. Whether you’re looking for a healthier breakfast option or want to have wholesome treats on hand throughout the week, these apple muffins deliver on both fronts.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the muffin tin with baking spray or line with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, soak the dates in piping hot water for about 5 minutes. This will make them easier to blend.
- While the dates soak, chop the apples into small diced pieces and set aside.
Blending
- Drain the dates from the water. Add the dates, bananas, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Blend on high for 30 seconds.
- Add the oats, flour, baking soda, and spices to the wet ingredients in the blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until all the ingredients are finely mixed.
Baking
- Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl, using a rubber spatula, mix in the diced apples.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin liners about ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 20 to 23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one muffin comes out clean.
Notes
- These muffins are naturally sweetened with dates and bananas, making them a healthy treat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
