Apple and raisin muffins with streusel topping
Apple and raisin muffins with streusel topping
As mentioned before Ive been baking a LOT with apples these past few weeks. These muffins came about as I had 1 ripe banana and some apples to use up. I started with a banana and apple muffin and decided to add in raisins, nuts, spice and a streusel topping. The result was a wonderfully delicious and fragrant muffin which made for a perfect breakfast on the go.
Im sending this to the No Waste Food Challenge guest hosted by Jen from Jens Food this month on behalf of Elizabeth from Elizabeth s Kitchen Diary.
