Three different fruits in one muffin sounds too good to be true, right? Not when it comes to these delicious banana and strawberry muffins. The elusive third fruit comes in the form of unsweetened apple sauce which lends a moreish moistness to the muffins. These work perfectly as a lunchbox snack for little ones who don’t enjoy eating fruit in its raw form. To complete the ‘Healthier’ Lunchbox recipe try the Avocado Mac n’ Cheese and Houmous-stuffed Piccarella Peppers.Time and servings
