I think I’ve mentioned before that my kids will eat anything as long as it’s in muffin form.
Here’s another attempt to get them to eat something healthy while they think it’s not.
I will warn you…this recipe takes a bit of time to prepare, so don’t think you can do this on a school morning.
But once you’ve got them made, you can store them in the freezer and then just take them out on school mornings and pop them in the microwave for 1.5 minutes…easy, nutritious breakfast they can eat in the car on the way to school!

I’m going to warn you about something else…I’m in an apple mood! So for the next few weeks I’m only going to post recipes that include apples…since it’s that time of year!
