Banana Apple Muffins

Another month has flown by and it's #MuffinMonday again!  I love participating in this group because muffins are always a hit here and it allows me to creatively use some of my pantry ingredients.

 

This time around I had apples and bananas. A quick search of the Taste of Home site turned up Alice M's Banana Apple Muffins. I doubled the ingredients from the original recipe.  I used quick cooking oats because that's what I usually have on hand.

 

I also increased the amount of cinnamon and allspice and added some vanilla extract to the batter.  I sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar before baking because we like the crunch and sweetness it adds.

 

I made a dozen full size muffins and also made mini muffins. They may look plain but the apple and banana come through perfectly.  I like them split and then griddled on a hot pan with a little butter. The minis make great lunch box treats for my guys.

 

Thank you so much to Stacy from Food Lust People Love for hosting #MuffinMonday! Be sure to check out the links down below for all of the other great recipes being shared this month!

  1. I always seem to have overripe bananas in the freezer and apples in my refrigerator so these are a very real possibility for our house soon.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
