These Biscoff Apple Muffins are a great way to start out any morning or afternoon. A sweet Biscoff streusel and glaze adds so much flavor to the soft apple muffin recipe. Trust me...you will be reaching for another one in a hurry.
It may not be cool or even close to being fall here, but I'm breaking out all the apple and pumpkin treats.
If I keep the air conditioner set low and keep my coffee mug full of Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte, at least I can pretend it's fall.
Muffins are one of the easiest things to make and keep on hand for a quick and easy breakfast. They are also perfect for after school snacks.
These easy apple muffins are topped with a sweet streusel topping and then drizzled with a delicious Biscoff glaze.
Have you had the deliciousness that is Biscoff??? If you have never tried it, run to the store and buy 2 jars. One for baking with and one for eating by the spoonfuls!!!
What is Biscoff?
- It is a peanut butter like spread made from crunchy spice cookies.
- Biscoff has a gingerbread flavor with a slight hint of caramel.
Now, Biscoff is not a new thing. In fact, it has been around for quite a few years. Back about 8 years ago, it was super popular because cookie butter was a new item and super trendy.
I remember using it quite a few recipes. In fact, these Chocolate Biscoff Swirl Cookies and these White Chocolate Biscoff Cheesecakes are still some of my favorites.
The funny thing is that my husband just discovered it recently. I had a jar of Biscoff in the pantry, so that I could remake these Monster Cookie Blonde Brownies.
BUT...when I went to use it, the jar was almost empty. Turns out my husband has been eating it by the spoonfuls when no one is looking.
Since we also like dipping apples into this sweet cookie butter, I knew I wanted to incorporate it into some apple cinnamon muffins this fall.
How to make Biscoff Apple Muffins
- Beat together the sugars, oil, vanilla, eggs, and Biscoff until it is mixed in. (full recipe below)
- Stir together the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then add it alternately with buttermilk until a soft batter forms.
- Gently stir in shredded apples and rolled oats.
- Spoon into a muffin tin and top with the cookie butter crumble, then bake.
What apples are best for baking?
When you are baking with apples, you want to choose an apple that will hold its shape when added to baked goods.
Some of our favorites that hold up to heat and that taste great are Winesap, Jonagold, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
Gala apples are also one of my favorites, if I'm going to shred them.
Now these apple Biscoff muffins are quite delicious on their own, but adding a thick layer of crumbs takes them way over the top.
Biscoff Crumb Topping
- Use a fork to mix together the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and Biscoff until it looks like crumbs.
- Once the crumbs form, use your hands to clump more of it together.
- Spoon the crumbs evenly on top of the apple muffin batter and press down gently before baking.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes; then remove the muffins. Do this carefully, so the streusel stays put.
- A drizzle of Biscoff glaze will hold everything in place once they cool.

Just made this recipe and it was “killer good”!
I liked the streusel topping & glaze flavors the best and determined that those two items would be delish on banana or even bran muffins (which are soooo boring tho good for you!).
I stumbled across your website many years ago and have NEVER been disappointed in anything I have made. In fact, when I want something totally different and really unique from any other recipe, you’re my “go-to” website!
Thanks again Jocelyn, for yet ANOTHER recipe that is all of that & more!

I cannot cook (or bake,) so I need to blindly follow recipes, trusting that they will work. Just tried this one today, and I could make pretty darn awesome muffins using the instructions. 🙂 Thank you!

I order Biscoff cookies and spreads from their web site.
Two jars of spread - one smooth, one crunchy - were $9.95. Of course, I had to order cookies too.
