Full of Fruit Muffins

I love discovering new recipes. Especially muffin recipes. I saw these muffins on @things.my.kids.wont.eat’s Instagram stories. Lucky for me, I know Jo from @things.my.kids.wont.eat so I gave her a quick message and she sent me over the recipe. It is great to be in a community where everyone is willing to share their recipes.

I kept her recipe the same with a few minor tweaks. She said she only put the berries on the top but I put them both throughout the muffins and on top. My bake time was also a little less and I put in white chocolate chips instead of dark. But all in all the recipe is true to hers.

These muffins are delicious and filled with fruit. Bananas, apples, blueberries and raspberries- and really, you can add whatever fruit or berries you enjoy. These are the perfect mid-day snack or grab and go breakfast. Jo, my friend, you have baked some muffins worth gossiping about!
