Mealthy Tip

Erin Rettke says:

These are some tasty muffins!!! I love the bite that the whole oatmeal gives and the crunchy pecans can't be beat. I added some extra cinnamon, because I'm spicy like that, and 2tsp worked perfectly! These lovelies are filling and super easy to put together. If you bake in a silicon pan, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. My batch made 14 large muffins.

Queen Foodie says:

These are incredibly yummy and filling. I added a bit more cinnamon and took out the pecans and added sliced almonds instead. They turned out really great.

Corinne Trang says:

I absolutely love the combination of sweet ripe bananas and crisp apples in season. I've combined the two fruit in crisps, but am so happy with this wholesome snack that I can easily pack for my kid to take to school. YUM.

Lisa Fortune Creeden says:

I added extra cinnamon and chopped apple, along with some nutmeg and a little freshly grated ginger. Yum!

Katie Hason says:

These apple muffins are a favorite in my house. I make a large batch and my hubby and I eat them in the morning with our coffee. This recipe also works great in a loaf pan.
