APPLE BANANA MUFFINS

My family loves bananas. But, no matter, there are still a few left over that brown too quickly. What is the best thing to do with brown, overly ripe bananas? Banana apple muffins, of course!

Other great ways to use up fruit that is a getting a little ripe is in recipes like these tasty Zucchini Banana Muffins or our Lemon Strawberry Muffins.

This easy and yummy apple and banana muffin recipe is very easy to put together!

The thing I love the most about this recipe is that you don’t need to use your mixer – at all. You will still need your food processor for chopping your apples. But, if you prefer a more ‘chunky’ muffin you can always dice the apples by hand and keep your appliances in the cabinet.

This recipe takes only 15 – 20 minutes to prepare – including set up. It’s super fast, extremely easy and the results are amazing!

You are going to be amazed at how moist these banana apple muffins are.

Normally I like to eat one muffin fresh out of the oven. But, these were so soft and chewy that I had to wait for them too cool a bit. It was definitely worth it. If you use a food processor to fine chop your apples then they just melt into the muffin.

Here are a few tips before you start making the muffins:

Do you have to use a food processor to dice up the apples?

No, not at all.  Just peel them and diced them with a knife.  That is how I prepared our muffins.

Can you use applesauce in lieu of apples?

You can, however, you may want to add a bit more flour if the recipe is too runny.

Could you add walnuts to the recipe?

Sure, you could definitely do that.

How can you make these Apple Banana Muffins more healthy?

Instead of the sugar, you could use a bakeable artificial sweetener.

Notes

I like to sprinkle them with a little bit of powdered sugar, but you can also coat them with apple butter for breakfast or drizzle caramel for more of a dessert muffin.
