Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly grease a muffin pan with oil or cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients together, ensuring that they are well combined.

3. In a separate bowl or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the wet ingredients to the bananas. Do not add the apples yet. Mix until these ingredients are thoroughly combined.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

5. Gently fold the diced apples into the muffin batter. This adds a wonderful texture and flavor.

6. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

8. Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. For storage, add to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to one week. The muffins can be enjoyed cold, but we highly recommend heating them up when ready to have one! You can do this with a microwave, or 10 minutes in the oven.
