To create Chicken & Apple Mini Muffins, follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or use silicone liners.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

3. Combine Chicken and Apple: In another bowl, mix the shredded chicken and grated apple. This will allow the flavors to blend.

4. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a third bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and honey (if using) until well combined.

5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

6. Add Chicken and Apple Mixture: Fold in the chicken and apple mixture along with the shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

7. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tins, filling each cup about ¾ full.

8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

10. Serve: Once cooled, these muffins are ready to enjoy, warm or at room temperature.
