Instructions

Soak oats and raisins: Cover the oats and raisins with water or milk and leave them soaking overnight in the refrigerator to soften and meld flavors.
Prepare apple and preheat oven: The next morning, drain the soaked oats using a sieve. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Chop the apple into small, baby-sized pieces to ensure it softens well during baking.
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained oats and raisins, chopped apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, milk, ground sunflower seeds, and milled chia seeds. Mix everything thoroughly to create a uniform batter.
Fill muffin tray: Lightly oil a mini muffin tray to prevent sticking. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serve: Let the muffins cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle a tiny amount of maple syrup on top for extra sweetness, perfect for a weekend treat.
