Delicious and filling, these make an ideal breakfast or afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
Packed with fruit, these are a great way to introduce some of your five a day in a fun way. Our base for muffins allows you to add fillings as you see fit, maybe you want to change the fruit, or maybe you want to add flavouring of your choosing.
Either way, these are guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
