This banana-apple muffin is a yummy way to provide a nutritious start to your family’s day or as a snack to refuel kids after school. The whole-wheat base, and mix of ap-plesauce and bananas, makes these muffins an easy way to incorporate whole grains and fruit into your day. We like to pair a muffin with fruit and low-fat yogurt for a sim-ple, yet filling breakfast. After school, this muffin and a side of fruit is perfect served alongside homework! Tune into this nifty three minute 18 sec-ond food video at http://dinnerto-night.tamu.edu/recipe/banana-apple-muffins/ For more recipes and cooking tips subscribe to dinnertonight.tamu.edu.
