These apple muffins with oatmeal are travel-friendly and perfect for busy lifestyles. Not only does the recipe require only ten minutes of active prep time, the resulting muffins are perfect to grab when you’re pressed for time and need a quick, nutritious bite to eat. They store well, are freezer-friendly, and great for meal prep too!

Once the apple oatmeal muffins have completely cooled, you can store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place (the countertop is usually fine!) in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag for up to 3-4 days. Adding a paper towel will help absorb moisture and keep your muffins from getting soggy!

To extend their shelf life, store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Note that refrigeration will change their texture and dry them out a bit. You can add moisture back in by reheating the muffins, but they don't have to be served warm.

Place the muffins in a plastic freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator or defrost in the microwave on the defrost setting or reheat in the oven.

How to freeze: Place the muffins in a plastic freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator or defrost in the microwave on the defrost setting or reheat in the oven.

How to make mini muffins: Pour batter into a mini muffin pan instead of a 12-cup muffin pan to make bite-size spiced apple muffins that are toddler-friendly, easy to pack in lunchboxes, and great to dole out in between meals when kids (or adults!) are feeling peckish. If you reduce muffin size, you’ll also have to reduce baking time, so make sure to account for that when baking. Around 7-10 minutes should do it in most cases, but every oven is different! Make sure to check the center of the muffins for doneness with a toothpick and add a few minutes as needed until completely cooked through.

Good! Plus, they are freezer-friendly, so there's no rush to finish them all in a few days -- although it's quite possible. You can also use up any extra apples in a weeknight salad or soup.
