These caramel apple banana muffins are so delicious and just scream fall. They are healthy, wholesome, and made with the best ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>The ripe bananas and applesauce keep these muffins oil-free and adds a natural sweetness to them as well. They are refined sugar free and the caramel is just made from two simple ingredients. I used cashew butter for the salted caramel, but you can use whatever nut or seed butter you would like. Cashew butter has a neutral taste so I went with that one. The caramel sauce is to die for and I can just eat it by the spoonful.<\/p>\n<p>These caramel apple banana muffins taste way more flavorful and moist the next day. I highly recommend you make them a day ahead of when you want them if you can wait. Because they are oil-free, storing them in an airtight container overnight before eating is highly beneficial. The flavors have more time to develop and the muffins taste sweeter the next day too. Also, if you choose to use paper liners, they peel off more easily the next day. Of course they are still good same day, but I just had to mention that waiting is worth it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>These muffins are healthy enough for breakfast, as a snack, or for dessert. The trick to getting big, fluffy muffins is to fill the muffin tin all the way up. Grab some apples and make these muffins! They are so tasty and no one would ever know they are actually good for you! If you make them, tag me @nutsaboutgreens so I can see your creations!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3974\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1897-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"overview shot of muffins without salted caramel on top\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1897-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1897-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1897-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1897.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3975\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1907-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"overview shot of muffins with salted caramel \" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1907-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1907-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1907-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1907.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3976\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1910-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"overview shot of muffins \" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1910-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1910-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1910-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1910.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3977\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1911-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"close up shot of muffins on a plate\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1911-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1911-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1911-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1911.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3978\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1929-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"bite shot of the muffin\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1929-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1929-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1929-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_1929.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-5539\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"5539\" data-servings=\"12\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-rosemary\"><div class=\"header\">\n\t<div class=\"recipe-title\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-normal\">Caramel Apple Banana Muffins (vegan, oil-free, refined sugar free)<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\"><span style=\"display: block;\">These caramel apple banana muffins are healthy, wholesome, and perfect for fall.
