Banana Apple and Cranberry Muffins
Banana Apple and Cranberry Muffins
Its muffin time again! I went through a phase of constantly baking muffins and then not baking them for a while. They are really good for using up leftovers and the recipe is so versatile and forgiving you really cant go wrong. I created this recipe to use up leftover fruit and a bag of chocolate coated cranberries that I found in my cupboard. I also added some spice as it enhances the flavour and smells really good when baking. The muffins turned out beautifully - really soft and moist and I love the chocolate coated cranberries. Its a really tasty breakfast and perfect for lunch boxes too.
Im sending this to the No Waste Food Challenge hosted by Elizabeth from Elizabeths Kitchen Diary.
As its a frugal recipe, its also perfect for Credit Crunch Munch hosted by Helen from Fuss Free Flavours and Camilla from Fab Food 4 All.
