Healthy Banana Apple Muffins

January 6, 2016 by Natasha Leave a Comment

Banana Apple Muffins

These muffins are absolutely guilt-free. I wouldn’t hesitate a second giving them to my son. There is no added sugar or other sweeteners; the mildly sweet taste comes from bananas and apples.  Babies and adults love them. Super easy recipe! I tried it a dozen times and it works every time. I usually bake half batch in a mini muffin mold then add chocolate and nuts for the adult muffins.

IMG_8251 IMG_8252Ingredients:

1/3 cup melted coconut oil (if you don’t have it, the recipe works just fine without it)
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas (mashed)
2 small apples, grated (with or without skin works. More fiber with skin)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon (put more if you love it)
1/2 cup wholewheat flour
3/4 cup instant oats
Optional: raisins, nuts, chocolate

Method:

Preheat oven to 325F. Hand beat eggs with coconut oil in a bowl. Add mashed bananas, baking powder, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix. Add apples. Mix. Add flour and oats. Stir well. Pour half a batch in a lightly greased muffin mold for babies. Then add raisins, chocolate and any other goodness you like to the adult batch. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool off.

I hope you like it.
