Healthy Apple Muffins that are best eaten on the day of baking, or the very next day, so bake and gather some friends and family to enjoy them with.
Apple and cinnamon are my favourite autumn/winter flavour combination. These healthy apple muffins are a great make-ahead breakfast to save time on a busy morning, or a filling snack. With no butter, sugar or oil, these muffins are a lighter choice, but still bursting with loads of flavour.
How do you make healthy apple muffins?
Making healthy apple muffins is pretty easy. All you need to do is mix all the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry ingredients in another bowl. Then you pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, fold in the diced apples and divide the mixture into 12 muffin cases. Pop it all in the oven for around 30 minutes, and then devour immediately like there is no tomorrow.
To make these extra special I have used the Berry Mix from Snacking Essentials which is basically a mixture of juicy raisins, golden raisins and cranberries. So so good.
