Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter.

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in the apples.

In a food processor, combine the oats, brown sugar, chilled butter, and pumpkin seeds. Pulse to combine and chop the pumpkin seeds.

Pour batter into greased muffin cups, top each with 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin seed mixture, and bake 20-22 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dice Apples Just Before Mixing 🍎
Cut your Granny Smith apples into small, uniform pieces immediately before folding them into the batter to prevent oxidation and browning, ensuring bright flavor and appealing appearance in every bite.
Toast Your Oats for Depth 🌾
Lightly toast the old fashioned oats in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to your batter to enhance their nutty flavor and add complexity that complements the apple pie profile.
Brown Your Butter First 🧈
Melt your unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma before incorporating into the wet ingredients—this adds a sophisticated depth that elevates the entire muffin.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold ingredients together until just combined with visible flour streaks remaining; overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense muffins instead of the tender, tender crumb you want.
Use Room Temperature Buttermilk 🥛
Allow buttermilk to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before mixing to ensure even distribution and optimal activation of the baking powder for superior rise and a tender, moist crumb.
