Apple Granola Muffins

As the name implies, these are meant to keep the morning as the part of the day to charge up, set a good mindset, and head off into the daily unknown as prepared as possible. Now, while I’ve been known to enjoy a yogurt and fruit as a means of ‘healthful’ eating in the morning, such cold fare really doesn’t cut it once the temperatures drop and fall sets in. On the contrary, for me at least, that’s basically an exercise in masochism.

To avoid such unpleasantness is precisely where today’s recipe comes in, as mentioned before, “It Is a Good Morning Muffins” or Apple Granola Muffins.
