Healthy Apple Muffins - Yummy!

hello.

i am really enjoying the beginning of this school year, all 2 days of it so far.

the chore chart is working a treat. we have been early to school both days and the kids have been early to bed each night. sierra and saxon were both asleep before 8:30pm tonight so i am happy :)

because i am trying hard to be responsible and organised i wanted to make something healthy for the kids lunch box. the last two days i had made honey joys. they were DELICIOUS but no overly healthy. i figured at least they were handmade rather than store bought and filled with preservatives. i even used raw sugar so it was a little less refined.

for my healthy snack i decided on apple muffins. all the kids love apple and i thought that they would surely love them. i used this recipe. i didn't use blueberries in this recipe though.

here is a quick rundown on how i made them:

 

3 apples peeled, cored and chopped into cubes

160 g self-raising flour

150 g wholemeal flour

150 g raw sugar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 

180 g milk

2 eggs

70 g olive oil

1/2 tsp baking powder

 

 

 

 

 



 

place all ingredients, except the fruit, into a bowl and mix.

add apples.

Spoon the batter into patty pans and place in a muffin tray. bake in a moderate oven (180 degrees) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

my little scarlett loved licking the spoon once i was done, so i was confident they were going to be a huge success.

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

once they were done i couldn't wait to try one out with a nice cuppa tea.

SUCCESS!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so the test would be whether the kids would like them.

i prepared them with the idea of a delicious snack made only with ingredients they actually liked...

and sure enough the 3 school kids didn't like them, saxon wouldn't even try them :(

 

i was told by saige that she would definitely have eaten then if they had blueberries in them.

 

grrrrr...i just can't win sometimes.

 

anyway i hope you will try out this recipe because it really was yummy, and healthy.

 

until next time,
