It has become increasingly difficult to wake up in the morning and the cold weather and comfort of my bed does not help. I have been thinking of ways to lessen my morning tasks such as preparing breakfast and packing lunch so that I can have a few extra minutes in bed. Last Sunday afternoon, I was thinking of what I could prepare already for breakfast the next morning. This is how I stumbled upon the Cheddar Apple Muffin recipe.
Apples are in season and so I thought it be fitting to make these for breakfast. The combination of savoury and hint of sweetness is perfection. These were perfect for breakfast the next day because all you’d need to do is pop it in the oven. These muffins go great with coffee and are perfect as a snack.
