Hello lovelies,
today I have another quick and easy recipe for you: apple muesli buns. You only need a simple basic yeast dough and then add a muesli of your choice to the dough, or just oats, grated apple and cinnamon. The buns are super delicious served warm for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
For the grated apple, use whatever you have on hand. If you want to be more deliberate about it, I wrote up which apple works for what separately.
They become very fluffy and moist from the apple. Of course you can also add raisins, cranberries or chocolate. I baked the buns in a muffin tin, so they kept their nice shape. At home you always know exactly what goes into your buns. At a bakery counter that is surprisingly hard to pin down, so I sat down and worked out whether bread is vegan.
You can try out different flour types and also use a wholemeal flour, the buns will then be less airy, but still just as tasty. I think it's also a great way to use up muesli leftovers.
We found the buns particularly delicious fresh from the oven with vegan butter and jam! Especially the kids were overjoyed and told me that I should bake them again soon. The muesli buns are also good for a picnic or an afternoon snack. The jar that empties fastest here is my apple-carrot jam with ginger, where finely grated carrot goes into the pot right beside the apple.
As you can see in the pictures, I had a muesli with pieces of strawberry. You can really vary as you like and see what tastes good and needs to be used up. But even fine oats works just well. Fine oats are also what I reach for on the first cool mornings, when a whole cinnamon stick simmers along in a pot of warm apple cinnamon porridge.
I hope you now feel like eating these tasty and fluffy apple muesli buns. Be sure to try them out, I'm sure you and your families will like them. By the way, they are also great for freezing, if there are any left over. If you love baking with apple, be sure to try my fluffy brioche with apple cinnamon filling or the moist apple cinnamon muffins. And when breakfast needs to be quick and oven-free, my apple-cinnamon overnight oats are just the thing.
