Most everyone has a New Year’s resolution involving eating healthier. So I am dedicating January and February to healthy recipes! And why not start with DELICIOUS healthy apple muffins?? Who doesn’t love a good muffin?! And these have ZERO butter and only 1/3 cup oil for the whole batch!

(Thanks to Super Healthy Kids for this recipe by the way!)

Side Note: I was so busy over Christmas and New Year’s that I didn’t have much time to write since my last post however I did do a lot of cooking! I have quite a few recipes I’d like to share with you but those will come later. They don’t necessarily fit my “healthy” cooking theme for the beginning of the year.  🙂 But they are all clean eating with whole foods so stay tuned for those in March. 

These healthy apple muffins were so yummy warm, straight out of the oven. Makes a great snack or breakfast with a handful of blueberries and a cup of coffee. They also store beautifully in the freezer too! I pulled a few out this morning to thaw and heated one in the microwave….. this time I added a bit of butter to each half and I was in heaven!
