Instructions

Step 1

Pre-heat the over to 200°C/ 390°F and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with some coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

After grating the zucchini squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Step 3

In a food processor add 2 of the apples and all the other ingredients and blend up until a smooth muffin mixture forms. Add the remaining apple at the end and mix in by hand - so you get warm apple bits through your muffins :).

Step 4

Spoon into the muffin tin and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Next blend the topping ingredients in your food processor. Only do this for a short time, so a light crunch remains.

Step 6

Remove the muffins from the oven after 10 minutes and evenly distribute the topping on top of each one.

Step 7

Add a slice of banana to each muffin. Place back in the oven and allow to cook for 25 more minutes.

Step 8

Allow them to cool for about 20 minutes so it can all set nicely.
