Excellent Apple Muffins
With apple and raisins, you won’t miss the added sweetener.
All too often, a search for healthy muffins — or any healthy baked goods, will return results that are full of wholesome ingredients. But they’ve substituted maple syrup, honey, agave syrup, molasses, and so forth instead of sugar. That might be marginally healthier than pure processed sugar, but it’s still a lot of added sweetener.
In Kevin’s Experimental Kitchen, I was thinking that apple muffins sounded really good. So I took a different recipe I’d already come up with and modified it. First try, and it was a success! I like them and so does my husband. A winner!
I hesitate to outright call them healthy muffins. How about way healthier muffins compared to many others. They are dairy-free, have a little fiber, and don’t have any added sweeteners. Most importantly they are really, really good.
