Apple-Oatmeal Muffins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan with 2 1/2-inch diameter cups with vegetable nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Place oatmeal in blender; process 2 minutes or until oats resemble coarse flour. In a medium-size bowl, combine processed oatmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon; stir until evenly mixed. Make a well in center of dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk and oil; whisk to evenly blend. Pour into dry ingredients; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened (do not beat). Stir in apple until evenly distributed.

Fill each prepared muffin cup 2/3 full with batter. Bake in preheated oven 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove muffins from pan to a wire rack; cool 5 minutes. Serve warm or cool completely.
