Apple Granola Muffins are easy and delicious. These fruity moist muffins are healthier and sweetened just right for breakfast or a snack. Everyone loves them!
Apple Granola Muffins are healthy and delicious. I never met an apple, muffin or granola that I didn't like so this seemed like a home run from the get-go.
Apple is finely diced so the chunks are understated and applesauce brings more apple flavor through. It seems like I try to work apples into a lot of recipes.
They're just so friggin' good!
You can choose your favorite whether it includes other dried fruits or not. I used cereal granola, not trail mix granola. Both would work great.
In fact, have you ever made your own granola? I just happen to have a delicious recipe on the blog and it's called Date Bar Granola. Here's a pic!
If you want bigger muffins this batter works for those also. Just fill up the tins more. You won't get as many muffins but they will be a bigger serving. Whatever muffin tins you have work with this recipe.
Since super moist muffins are always welcome bake up a batch of Apple Granola Muffins and you will be glad you did.
