I really enjoy these cinnamon-scented apple and oatmeal muffins for their healthful ingredients, but also their hearty texture.  I swapped in whole wheat flour for all-purpose, and for the buttermilk, a nice 2% vanilla-scented Greek yogurt.  The oats outweigh the flour in this recipe which is what gives them a slightly dense, yet moist crumb–shredded apples add natural sweetness and texture, and chopped walnuts a yummy, buttery crunch.  Next time I make these I might add in some golden raisins as well.
