Think crunchy top and soft, crumbly inside. These delicious muffins, are naturally sweetened with apple and banana AND completely sugar free. But, seriously! You would never know. Cos, so deliciously sweet. They’re nut free too, which makes them perfect for school lunch boxes or a quick and healthy breakfast.

Plus, talk about simple. Other than the apple and banana, these sugar free muffins are made using 5 ingredients you probably already have in the kitchen – flour, butter, eggs, baking powder and cinnamon. Yep. That’s it. So easy!
