Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for extra flavor)

1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are ideal)

1/2 cup honey

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (substitute with whole wheat for a healthier twist)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for added crunch)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional for a sweet pop)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Muffin Disks: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and finely chopped apple. Use a spatula or spoon to stir the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mix into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until everything is just combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins or cranberries for additional flavor and texture.

          Spoon into Muffin Tins: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising while baking.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

              Cool and Freeze: Once baked, let the muffin disks cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. After they have cooled down, place the disks on a parchment-lined baking tray and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.

                Serving Suggestion: Enjoy these delightful muffin disks right out of the freezer for a refreshing treat, or let them sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Enhance them with a drizzle of additional honey if you wish!
