Apple Banana Muffins
Apple Banana Muffins are one of my fave healthy go-to’s for breakfast, snacks, or to put in the lunch box! They’re packed with fruit, fiber and just the right amount of natural sweetness.
PinI’ve been making Apple Banana Muffins since Kenya and Chloe were toddlers. We used to load them up in their double stroller and go on long walks around our neighborhood, excitedly pointing out every tree and cars, singing and giggling all the while. Along our usual walking path, some of our neighbors fruit trees had branches extending over the sidewalk brimming with everything from oranges, to plums, to kumquats, and apples. There was so much of it, Kenya loved bringing along a tote bag to pick fruit (this is exactly how I was as a kid, loving every minute of picking apples from our local orchard, so, pun not intended, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree), then we would go home and cook up something delicious with them.
PinYou can make these muffins with all kinds of different apple varieties. Some of my favorites are Gala, Fuji, and Pippin (if you want them to be a little more tart) or any good baking apple will do nicely. The addition of the bananas in these muffins give them a divinely moist texture, while also adding some valuable nutrients like potassium.
These naturally sweet Apple and Bananas Muffin make a great breakfast, snack or lunch, but I highly encourage you to make a batch to freeze so that you always have a bunch when you need them at the ready. Keep them on hand so you have the perfect portable treat for rides to and from school, activities and yes, family walks around your own neighborhood!
