Apple Banana Muffins

 Here is my recipe for healthy and tasty muffins! I tried this several times to get them just right - perfectly balanced and moist. All you need is a little patience!

Whole wheat contains vitamins, minerals, and soluble fibre. 

Bananas contain vitamins (including vitamin B6, C), minerals, and potassium. 

Apples are a good source of vitamin C and soluble fibre. It promotes heart health and lowers cholesterol. 

Dates are rich in iron, fibre, and several vitamins and minerals. They also contain antioxidants and nutrients that may lower the risk of heart disease.

Walnuts are sources of Copper, Folic acid, Phosphorus, Vitamin B6, Manganese, and Vitamin E.
