Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Ok, I admit it.
We’re a little muffin-crazy here at SPF.
Why?
Because after the initial work of making the muffins, there’s a lot of muffins, and they are easy to take anywhere. They’re delightful breakfast nuggets of protein and energy.
That is, if you make them yourself with healthy ingredients. We all know that store-bought muffins are worse than doughnuts. So give these bad-boys a try!
