I am so happy to have my very good friend Carrie of plums in the icebox share with you all one of her amazing recipes! Make sure to check out her blog and follow her on Twitter here for all of her latest happenings. Read her post below to find out how to make these apple-oat muffins! I will be getting a glimpse into her life tomorrow when my mom and I bake lots of pies for Thanksgiving. I have a feeling my blog may turn into a food blog over this Thanksgiving holiday. Don't worry, Carrie. I won't be able to make anything as good as you can!

I'm not usually the best baker, but this fall the weather (rainy and cold and blah) has made me want to stay inside and use my oven. These apple-oat muffins are easy to make and completely delicious. I added applesauce and yogurt so they would be extra moist, and wow, they were! The oats and the apples make these healthier than your average muffin, perfect for a Thanksgiving day breakfast (I even froze a few of these and plan to eat them for breakfast throughout the winter). Use whole-wheat flour to make these even better for you! If you're gluten-free, these are easily customizable; I made the muffins with 1 cup of Arrowhead Mills baking mix and 1/2 cup of rice flour.
