Got any apples that need to be used up?
The other day I wanted to make a sweet baked good, but I was short on most ingredients that seem to be in the standard muffin recipes. I did have a lot of apples, though, and figured they’d make a great muffin. I wasn’t disappointed.
I based my muffin recipe off this one, and they came out so great that people were telling me I should market it.
These muffins are gluten free (but can easily be made with wheat if you’re trying to keep costs down), can easily be made vegan, and can easily be made refined sugar free. I’ve made mine vegan and not vegan, refined sugar free and not refined sugar free, and they’re great all ways.
