These apple blueberry muffins are moist and delicious and a great way to add some extra fruit to lunchboxes!

I'm forever experimenting with muffin recipes to make my kids' lunchboxes more varied and interesting.

Blueberry Apple Muffins

My son loves these banana choc chip muffins, but I wanted to create a recipe using two of his other favorite fruits: apples and blueberries.

The result is this moist apple and blueberry muffins recipe - and he now loves these too!

Apples

You can use any apples you like for these blueberry apple muffins. I usually use either Royal Gala or Pink Lady or some other variety of red apple.

I haven't tried making them with any kind of green apple yet - but if you do, let me know how they turn out!

You may also like this recipe: ABC Muffins (Apple, Banana, Carrot).

I like to coarsely grate the apple for this recipe, but you could also finely chop if that's easier. You could also whizz it up in your food processor or Thermomix (speed 5, 3 seconds).

Making Muffins

You can use an electric hand whisk or stand mixer to make these muffins. Just be sure to fold in the blueberries by hand at the end, otherwise they could all break up and go mushy.

Freezing Muffins

These blueberry and apple muffins freeze really well. I freeze them in freezer bags, then pull one out in the morning to put in the lunch box and it is defrosted and ready to eat by lunchtime.
