Homemade muffins… mmm mmm. Healthy (healthier than anything store-bought!), filling, satisfying and the possibilities are endless!

This is a delicious and moist muffin, with great flavor combinations and a triple does of apple (apples, applesauce and apple juice!). The surprise ingredient is the banana, which adds a subtle flavor, moistness and natural sweetness. The maple syrup ties both the apple and banana flavors together.

As always, these muffins are easy to throw together, freeze very well, and are the perfect “pick me up” for any time of the day, or as a breakfast on the go (add a yogurt, or some almonds, on the side for some protein – or whatever else you can think of and prefer!).
