I’m a huge muffin person, and we love to keep them around all the time, any flavor really we don’t care, but these Apple Banana Muffins are one of our favorites.

They are packed with tons of different flavors that work so well together, and the texture is amazing as well, soft and moist with a hint of oats.

I love the flavor and texture of oats and I think these muffins are a great example of why.

Not only that, but oats really fill you up! I’ll never complain about that! A good breakfast should always stick to your ribs.

Perfect for your favorite breakfast or even a great dessert! You really just cannot go wrong when making these banana apple muffins. 

They are also great for kids, our daughter gobbles them up whenever we have them around. They are one of her favorite snacks to have during the day.

More on the “healthier” side, these apple banana muffins are great for back-to-school, bake sales, brunches, and more. They are just an overall great muffin that comes together easily.

CAN I ADD IN OTHER MIX-INS?

Some yummy mix-ins include chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, peanut butter chips, chopped walnuts or pecans, or butterscotch chips.

CAN SOME SPICES BE ADDED?

While these are great on their own try adding some ground cinnamon or ground nutmeg for a fun twist.

CAN I DOUBLE THIS RECIPE?

Trust me, you might want to double this recipe, especially if you have kids, as they go quickly. They are easy to double. Just bake in 2 separate pans.

They keep for a while, so you can either have more for more people or keep some on hand for later.

ANY ADDITIONS?

All my favorite recipes are the ones that I made my own. Here are some ingredients for you to do the same!

• Dried Fruits: Mix in raisins or dried cranberries for natural sweetness and extra flavor.
• Chopped Nuts: Add a little bit of walnuts or almonds to the muffin batter for a crunchy texture in your delicious muffins.
• Chocolate Chips: Stir in some chocolate chips to make these muffins a sweet treat that kids will love in their lunch box.
• Shredded Coconut: Incorporate into the muffin batter for added texture and a tropical twist.

• Cinnamon or Nutmeg: Add a teaspoon to the dry ingredients for warm spice flavors in your favorite muffin recipes.
• Honey or Maple Syrup: Drizzle on top after baking for extra sweetness and natural sweetness.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

I know everyone has their own tastes and dietary needs. Check out these subs if you need ideas!

• All-Purpose Flour: Substitute with white whole wheat flour or a mix of half all-purpose and half whole wheat for healthier muffins.
• Vegetable Oil: Use melted coconut oil or olive oil as a healthy choice for fat.
• Granulated Sugar: Replace with brown sugar or maple syrup for natural sweetness.
