Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a 12-well muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper muffin liners.
- Rub together oats, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cane sugar, butter and ½ teaspoon cinnamon with clean fingertips in a small bowl until crumbly.
- Whisk egg, yogurt, evaporated cane juice, oil and apple juice in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir to combine. Add the apple and stir to combine.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tin wells. Top with the streusel, dividing evenly.

Let cool in the pan 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the muffin tin, and transferring to a wire rack to cool.
