Gluten free apple muffins are the perfect way to start out the new year. These gluten free apple muffins are packed with flavor and very moist. I also use Stevia in mine, trying to make them a little healthier for this new 2018 year.

My husband and I decided it is time to get back into better shape. So where ever we can eat a little healthier, we will do it. I love something that I saw the other day; it went like this, “not a diet, it is a way of life.” So after the holiday season, I wasn’t having a very good way of life. I was eating too many delicious treats.

 

 

 

It seems like we say, when Christmas is over, I will start eating healthier and then comes New Years; of course there is my sister’s birthday and my husband’s birthday. What about Valentine’s Day and then of course I must have a birthday too!!!

I can truly think of a lot of reasons to have a few extra treats. But we can all do this, and even if we have a birthday here and there, we can still have a piece of cake once in awhile. Then get back on to a healthier way of life and I am pretty sure that we will all feel a lot better.

So I felt like these gluten free apple muffins were a little healthier using the Stevia, the apple sauce, and the apples. And I don’t know if you are like me, but I have just a few pounds to get rid of! When I made brownies and chocolate covered nuts, I just couldn’t help myself!

What Does it Mean if Something is Gluten Free?

 

• Gluten-free means that the protein gluten is excluded.
• Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye.
• A gluten-free diet is essential for managing signs and symptoms of celiac disease and other medical conditions associated with gluten.

 

 

Also, last night I decided to plug in the new alarm clock that my husband gave me. He didn’t like the other one that I had. It was very old and I almost came out of bed every time it would go off. (It was very LOUD!)

So I plugged the new one in and it was a process to get the alarm set, but my hubby helped me and we finally got it. Then when I was laying there in bed it was so bright on the dimmest setting, that I could see my hand. Now I don’t know about you, but when I go to sleep, I like it dark.

So this morning when my husband got up, he told me I will try that clock one more night and if it is as bright as I think that it is, we are taking it back. I wonder if green is just a lot brighter than red when it comes to light. My new one is green and the old one is red. Who knew? I will let you know what we find out! Happy sleeping and have a wonderful New Year!!!
