Discussion & Rating
Really nice and moist muffins for breakfast! I used grated apple instead of minced, which worked well. I had to bake the muffins at 200 degrees Celsius for 25 min (due to moist from the grated apple I guess), but it was worth it😋 They got a nice caramelised flavour, and the combination with cinnamon is a winner. I’ll consider however to add cardamom as a “flavour buddy”.
The sole disadvantage with this recipe is that a muffin isn’t sufficient for breakfast😂. Blueberries are good complement!
