Granny Smith Apple-raisin Chunky Yummy Muffins image

This is my absolute favorite recipe for muffins because they are healthy, yet sweet, and have lots of substance. Definitely an oatmeal kind of stick-to-your-ribs breakfast (or snack). I usually make a double batch and keep them in the fridge in a big ziplock bag for whenever the urge hits anyone. My little brother's girlfriend can't wait till I make them again.

These muffins are a great way to get kids to eat their fruit. My kids love the sweet apples and raisins, and they don't even realize they're eating healthy.

I've frozen these muffins before, and they reheat really well. Just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds until they're warmed through.

These muffins are a great make-ahead breakfast. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then reheat them throughout the week.

These muffins are so versatile. You can add different fruits, nuts, or spices to change up the flavor. I've even made them with chocolate chips and peanut butter.

I like to add a little bit of chopped nuts to these muffins for an extra crunch. Walnuts or pecans work well.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that are starting to get soft, and these muffins are the perfect way to use them up.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour. It gives them a healthy boost and makes them more filling.

These muffins are the perfect fall treat. They're warm and comforting, and the apple-raisin filling is delicious. I like to serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I'm not a huge fan of raisins, but I loved these muffins! The apples and cinnamon really shine through, and the raisins add a nice touch of sweetness without being overpowering.

These muffins were a hit with my family! They're moist, flavorful, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making them again.
