Add the eggs and brown sugar. Cover and process for 20 seconds or until smooth. Add the oil and milk; process for 10 seconds or until mixed.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Mix just until moistened. Fold in the apple.

Step 6

Fill the muffin cups almost full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons oats.
