No Sugar Banana, Apple and Carrot Muffins
We made fruit muffins this week which are delicious snacks to take out when we’re at the playground and have spent the morning or afternoon running around, climbing and on the swings.
They’re also perfect for breakfast when you’re on the run.
These healthy muffins have no added sugar as the fresh fruit mixture and raisins naturally sweeten them.
