Apple Cinnamon Muffins

A wholegrain muffin is a great addition to a performance lunch box. These apple cinnamon muffins are a family favourite of ours. Made with wholemeal flour and include 1/2 a cup of high protein greek yoghurt making them a nutritious but satisfying option for a school lunch box or a super snack for teen athletes on the go.

With the natural sweetness from apples and a hint of warmth from the cinnamon they are a perfect post training snack or a breakfast on the go when paired with a high protein yoghurt pouch!

Each muffin contains complex carbohydrates from the wholemeal flour and the protein supporting recovery and helping to maintain energy throughout the day. Delicious and portable they are a great choice for a nutritious snack.

Why we love them

Easy to grab on the go: No more skipping breakfast or post training snack.

Wholesome: Packed with protein to promote protein synthesis and post training recovery. The complex carbohydrates provide a steady long lasting source of energy fuel for the rest of the day.

Simple meal prep: Bake a batch on a Sunday to get a head start for the week. They seriously take me less than 10 minutes to prepare for the oven.
