Although these muffins have breakfast in the title that doesn’t mean you won’t want to eat them all day! These Sugar Free Breakfast Muffins are a perfect snack at any time and brilliant for lunchboxes. Or in my kids case their second (or third) breakfast dish of the morning…and as it’s a muffin it can be eaten on the move if needs be!
I make my own apple puree because, especially at this time of year, I am drowning under the weight of cooking apples from the tree we are lucky enough to have in our garden. At other times of the year or if you don’t have time to make your own puree you can buy it ready made from supermarkets. Just look for those which haven’t been sweetened if you are trying to reduce the amount of sugar you eat.
I prefer the silicon muffin liners as they are reusable and I find they come away from the cake really well but there are so many styles of paper or cardboard ones on the market now too. Ring the changes by swapping the frozen raspberries for other fruit (blueberries or dark cherries are great) or even some raisins if you prefer. You can also use nuts to bump up the protein levels if you like.
