Hello and welcome to another Sometimes Healthy Friday! In case you haven’t noticed the pattern, the goal of these posts is to help kickstart your weekend with a healthy (sometimes) recipe and a workout to help burn off some of those much-needed indulgent weekend calories.
You’re in for a treat today. First, I’m going to share with you a very sweet Butternut Apple Muffin recipe, and then I’m going to follow it up with a Bad Ass Treadmill Workout, accompanied by a “rapper’s delight” playlist. Get ready, my friends.
This Butternut Apple Muffin has been in the works for a few weeks now. As I always say, “You can’t hit home runs every time.” And, that was certainly the case with this muffin. The idea came about when I mentioned in a WIAW post celebrating fall flavors that I wanted to create Butternut Squash Muffins, and a reader left the following comment.
That was all the encouragement I needed to get cracking in the kitchen! But alas, cooking with butternut is no easy task. The first time around, the muffins were too dense and they didn’t rise the way that I wanted them to.
But, the second time around was pure squash perfection.
