Sometimes people confuse muffins and cupcakes, despite the fact that cupcakes are iced and muffins aren’t. I think this is because oftentimes muffins are just as sweet as cupcakes and really shouldn’t be able to pass as a breakfast item.
I don’t think anyone would ever confuse these muffins for cupcakes. Why? Because they’re so hearty and delicious in a way a cupcake could never be.
They have a sweet crunch, due to the apple-raisin-almond combo.
They’re light and fresh-tasting.
And they’re healthy.
So yes, they should be on your list of recipes to make.
