Last week I shared that these apple banana muffins Donald made were a big hit with the kids, and promised to share the recipe.
If you’re like me, you’re a mom always looking for healthier school snack alternatives that aren’t fill of refined sugar , don’t stick to dental work LOL, and aren’t met with resistance from the picky palettes in the family. (For example… I can’t WAIT for these new protein barsto come out so I can stock up our pantry and stuff them in their school bags each day)!
These muffins from our go-to clean eating cookbook fit the bill.
I tucked in these apple banana muffins for a quick and healthy snack in their bento boxes, next to some fresh blackberries and a cheese stick.
If you do follow the fitness and nutrition programs I often recommend, then you know why I’m a huge advocate for this cookbook! It was oroginally written with the 21day fix program in mind with 101 recipes to add to your library of healthy meals. Part of what makes it so valuable to the clean eating “portion fix” enthusiast is that every recipe in the book also shows you the exact color serving sizes to make using those portion control containers super easy.
These muffins will make your kitchen smelling wonderful and your kids asking for more!
