Preheat the oven to 180°C (top-bottom). Take the eggs and yogurt out of the fridge for 10-15 minutes to bring them closer to room temperature — this will help them combine better with the fat and flour. Prepare a mold for 12 muffins: line it with paper liners or grease the mold with coconut oil.
Description
Delicate, healthy muffins inspired by the idea of dietary catering from Podlasie — light, full of protein and the natural sweetness of fruits and coconut. Perfect for a second breakfast, a snack at work, or a sweet start to the day. They are based on spelt flour and oats, sweetened with honey and apple, with the addition of fresh berries and coconut flakes for a pleasant texture. They look appetizing: a golden crust, visible pieces of berries, and a sprinkle of flakes. They can be served with natural yogurt, peanut butter, or as an accompaniment to coffee. The recipe is thoughtfully designed for nutrition — a moderate amount of fat, fiber from oats and fruits, and an option to enrich with protein for active individuals.

Preparation steps
Preparation
Preparing the dough
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: add spelt flour (250 g), oats (80 g), baking powder (15 g), salt (1 g), and cinnamon (4 g). Mix the dry mixture thoroughly with a wooden spoon or whisk, so that the baking powder and spices are evenly distributed in the flour.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs (120 g) with a fork until smooth — about 20 seconds. Add natural yogurt (250 g), honey (60 g), melted, slightly cooled coconut oil (30 g), and vanilla extract (5 g). Mix with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and the honey is well dissolved.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the flour and use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to gently combine. Mix only until the dry ingredients disappear — do not mix for too long (about 20-30 seconds of mixing after combining). The batter should be thick but pourable — if it is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of yogurt.
To the combined dough, add grated apple (150 g) and blueberries (150 g). Gently mix with a spatula just to distribute the fruit (about 10-15 seconds). If you are using protein powder (30 g) — add it now and gently fold it in; the protein will absorb some moisture, and the dough may become thicker.
Filling the molds
Fill the cupcake liners with the prepared mixture to about 2/3 of their height (use a tablespoon or ice cream scoop for portioning). The top can be gently sprinkled with almond flakes (optional) and a few additional coconut shavings.
Baking
Place the mold in the preheated oven on the middle rack. Bake for 18-22 minutes at 180°C (if using convection, 170°C — 16-20 minutes). Check with a toothpick after 18 minutes: the toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin should come out dry or with a few moist crumbs, but not wet with raw batter.
Cooling
After baking, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a rack for about 5 minutes. Then, remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool completely on the rack (another 20-30 minutes). Cooling on a rack allows air to circulate and prevents condensation from forming under the muffins.
Glaze and decoration
If you want to add a delicate glaze, mix 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt (30 g) with 1 teaspoon of honey (10 g) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (5 g) — apply the glaze with a teaspoon onto the cooled muffins. Decorate with additional fruits and coconut flakes or almond slices.
Serving
Serve the muffins slightly warm or at room temperature. You can serve them with additional natural yogurt, fresh fruits, or a teaspoon of peanut butter. One serving is 1 muffin — perfectly caloric as a snack.
Fun Fact
In the kitchens of the Podlasie region, simple, local ingredients are often combined with a touch of homemade sweetness — hence the idea for muffins that blend apple and blueberry with coconut, giving them a modern, blog-worthy character.

Tips
Serve with natural yogurt or cottage cheese for extra protein; fresh mint leaves or a slice of lemon alongside will enhance the aroma of the berries. For a more dessert-like character, serve with a small portion of vanilla cream.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. In the refrigerator, muffins will stay fresh for up to 5 days (chilled toppings may set). To reheat: 10-15 seconds in the microwave or 5 minutes in the oven at 160°C to regain crispness.
