These muffins are too good to be true !! Whole Wheat, No Refined Sugar, No Butter, Loaded with Goodness of Apple, Carrot, Raisins and Almonds and of course these muffins are very moist and full of flavour.
As a mother, I keep trying healthier snack & breakfast options. Early morning in our house is very chaotic. My daughter does not like waking up early for school ( neither do I 🙂 ). After a lot of fuss she gets up just about 20 minutes before the School Bus arrives. Getting her ready and making her eat something at that time quickly is just impossible. So I keep something which is dry, can be quickly consumed and at the same time wholesome & Nutritious. Since she loves muffins I created muffins which are made with healthier substitutes. I was elated when my daughter had one and asked for a second. I baked the first batch of muffins on Saturday and half of them were finished the same day.
I made another batch of muffins on Sunday, as we had a meeting of HUG volunteers and everyone loved then with a hot cup of tea. I must share with you about HUG. H.U.G (Humane Universal Good Deeds Network) is a citizen movement group & comprises of a diverse group of professionals from various disciplines who are all inspired to contribute and participate in creating good change. The Good Deeds Network aligns itself with education and empowerment, hunger management & environment related issues.
