Reading Time: 3 minutesWhen you’re looking for a sweet treat or a quick breakfast that doesn’t take time to cook, these apple cinnamon paleo muffins do the trick. I heat one of these delicious muffins and eat it with a little melted butter with my morning coffee. They are quick, healthy, and very satisfying.
These paleo muffins don’t take a lot of time to make and you don’t even need a mixer. They can be stirred by hand, which I love because it makes clean up a whole lot easier.
These muffins are light and fluffy, and the apple-cinnamon combination is perfection. They can be made at the start of your week and enjoyed every day by your whole family.
These paleo muffins are only compliant on the Kickstart level, but if you are between Challenges (or just willing to take a point for an occasional treat that feels worthwhile), then these muffins offer a far more nutritious alternative to any muffin you’re going to find at a restaurant or store.
