It takes just six easy steps to make these apple and courgette muffins.
Just like our apple muffins recipe, these muffins have a naturally sweet flavour thanks to the apples cooked amongst the muffin mixture. The courgette in this recipe makes the sponge extra moist and soft. Walnuts, raisins, and a pinch of cinnamon and you've got a batch of mouthwatering muffins to share.
