But most of us are a little short on time, at least on regular school days. This recipe is something that can be made in advance and kept frozen. Then, just pop a few out of the freezer as needed. Tasty muffins combine apple, yogurt and some spicy cinnamon for extra flavor. Try putting a little peanut butter on your muffin for some extra protein and healthy fat. Have a piece of fruit and a glass of low-fat or fat-free milk on the side, and you’ve got a well-balanced and delicious breakfast. And, if there are any left over, they make a great after school snack too.
