Instructions
  1. Keep all the ingredients handy.
  2. Peel off the skin from the apple and cut it into 2-3 pieces.
  3. Cook the apple pieces in a sauce pan with half cup of water, till it becomes soft.
  4. Now mash the banana and cooked apple into a paste and keep the paste mixture aside.
  5. Sieve the wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda together twice until they are combined.
  6. Squeeze the orange and keep the juice ready.
  7. Beat the butter with a mixer on medium high speed for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. You can also use a wooden spatula to stir the butter, but it may take few more minutes to become light and fluffy. Use a spatula to scrap the mixture off the sides of the bowl periodically.
  8. Now add powdered palm sugar and repeat the above process for 3 minutes.
  9. Add Banana-Apple paste to this mixture. Again beat this with the mixer for 1 minute until they are combined.
  10. Now add Orange juice, vanilla extract and coarsely powdered nuts. Mix well with the mixer for 1 more minute until blended.
  11. Now add wheat flour slowly and mix well with a wooden or rubber spatula until it is smooth without any lumps. Now the batter is ready.
  12. Now grease the muffin cups by brushing the bottoms and sides with butter or use paper liners which don’t require greasing.
  13. Fill the muffins cases two thirds full.
  14. Preheat the oven to 250 deg celcius. I used OTG (Oven Toaster Griller)
  15. Now place the muffin tray inside and bake it for 15-20 mins at 200 deg celcius until the muffins are risen, firm to touch and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
  16. Now your delicious fluffy muffins are ready to be served.
