Blueberry & Apple Mug Muffin

Blueberry & Apple Mug Muffin

Mug muffins are super quick and easy to make and taste delicious. And because they don't contain wheat flour or processed sugar they help to keep your blood sugar stable and prevent those energy crashes you can get when indulging in a regular muffin.
The addition of half an eating apple gives a little natural sweetness whilst also providing fibre and nutrients including vitamin C and potassium. Apples are also a source of quercetin, a beneficial antioxidant which may protect the body and help to calm inflammation.

This mixture can make 1 large, or 2 medium mug muffins.
