Blueberry and Banana Superboost Muffins

These muffins offer a convenient source of carbs that's perfect for a pre-or post-ride snack to give you an extra boost. They're packed full of fruits and are sweetened with maple syrup and apple juice instead of refined sugar. In addition, almond meal, brown rice flour and whole-grain oats replace nutrient-stripped white flour. These are one of my go-to muffins—nourishing and sweetly satisfying for an easy grab-n-bike snack.
