Gather your mise en place; get together all of the equipment needed for the recipe and gather all of the ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the mini muffin tray or line it with mini muffin papers.

In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

Use a knife to cut the apple into very small pieces (no need to peel them).

In a second bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, oil, yogurt, milk and vanilla.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Fold in the diced apple.

Scoop the batter into the mini muffin tray, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Bake for 12 – 15 minutes, until the tops spring back lightly when touched or a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Cool before serving.
