Apple Muffin Bites

Good Afternoon friends, I hope this finds you all well and having a great week so far. 


I am excited to share with you today a yummy recipe that I created a few weeks ago …. by mistake! You would be surprised how often I have this ‘brilliant idea’ and then try and get it to turn out in the kitchen only for it to be a big FLOP! Quite often I have to test and re-test and change things several times before it is worthy to share! 


I had some delicious organic apple puree in the pantry and decided I would make some biscuits swapping the egg for apple sauce …. it didn’t turn out to be the biscuit or crunchy cookie that I had hoped for BUT what turned out was this little treat more like a bite of a muffin and even more excitingly the kids devoured the batch fresh and warm out of the oven. That is always a good sign for me! 


I have made them a few times since (I always test the recipes I post on here 2-3 times before posting and always minimum 3 times in my books) using both wholemeal flour and rice and buckwheat flour. Both were a hit. These ‘bites’ are NOT overly sweet – so if you have a sweet tooth you might want to up the sugar to suit your taste! Another great recipe for your kids lunch box for a snack! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
