Sugar Free Apple Muffins
This yummy muffin recipe is brought to you by the delightful Robyn de Beer Mrs D plus 3. Like many good recipes, it was created by a bit of trial and error! They are a great addition to school lunchboxes. Now, technically these aren’t totally sugar free as they do have apples in them, which still contain fructose. Leave out the apples if required!
Recipe Tester Feedback: "The muffins are so tasty and you'd never know sugar hadn't been added. Even fussy Miss 7 ate it, so they'll be a regular I keep on hand in the freezer for snacks. Great that the recipe makes heaps too!" - Anita
