I don’t like to throw away food. I often come home with half-eaten pieces of fruit in the handbag, after a long afternoon on the playground or in the park with the kids. What better to do with it than making muffins out of it, for next day’s breakfast. <\/div>\n
These apple banana muffins are perfect for my playground leftovers. They are a very flavorful match. The muffins are packed with fruit, just little added oil, and with agave as natural sweetener. They come out very moist. Without the frosting they are even vegan. Delicious and healthy! <\/div>\n
