Apple-Cranberry Oatmeal Mini Muffins

September 8, 2016 By Danielle 4 Comments

Apple Cranberry Mini Muffin www.redkitchenette.comThey say an apple a day keeps the doctor away.  Do you think the same rule applies to apple muffins? Probably not.  But it is back to school season and I’ve got apples on the mind.  Plus, it’s the first year Audrey will be bringing a lunch to preschool and I’ve got all sorts of ideas flowing as to what I can put in her lunchbox.  Hence, these adorably delicious, super nutritious, small enough for a lunchbox, apple-cranberry oatmeal muffins.

Filled with whole grain fiber and natural, unrefined sugar these muffins will keep your little ones’ belly full without giving them a big sugar rush.  Perfect for those long days ahead of them.  They are easy to make, portable, great for kids of all ages, and SO yummy.  If you’re looking for a muffin that tastes like summer is coming to an end and fall is fast approaching, these muffins are your answer!
