Apple & Date Muffins with Wheat Biscuits

Sharing is caring!

I will not lie my kids LOVE muffins, and I think as long as they are loaded with nutritious things and not too much sugar then they are fine by me.

These Apple and Date Muffins are sweetened with fruit and made with Wheat Biscuits which really ups the fibre content.

I want to say a big thank you to Countdown for not only supporting my blog and making this post possible but by continually increasing the number of products they have on Price Lockdown.

Price Lockdown products make up a huge part of my weekly shop and help stick to my weekly shopping budget.

A giant 1 kg box of Wheat Biscuits is locked down at only $2.50 which makes them super affordable. 

In this recipe, I use apple puree to sweeten the muffin. You can either cook your own apples and blend them, which I often do. OR, if you need a little bit of a shortcut then have a look for a jar of no added sugar applesauce. Select no added sugar applesauce from Countdown is also on price lockdown at $1.50 a jar
