Apple Muffins with Maple Drizzle

So the meeting I had this morning was cancelled and is now rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Since it's at 10:00 AM, I decided to go with muffins yet again. I had three apples in the fridge that I was going to use for coffee cake but then never got around to it, so I decided to use them for this recipe.

Again, I adapted it ever so slightly. Instead of melted butter, I used canola oil. It also called for maple syrup in the muffins, but I used agave instead.

For the Muffins

1 1/3 cups AP flour 1 cup quick-cooking oats 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 tbsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 cup milk 1/3 cup canola oil 1/4 cup agave 1 1arge egg, slightly beaten 2 cups chopped, peeled apples (This is about 2 apples, but I used all 3 that I had.)

For the Glaze 1/3 cup powdered sugar 2 tablespoons maple syrup

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a muffin pan with liners.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
