Best muffins ever!
Here is my recipe for the best muffin ever! These muffins are moist, delicious, satisfying and PACKED with nutrition. I developed this recipe while trying to figure out a healthy, highly nutritious snack to pack in my children’s lunches. It just so happened that I love these muffins, too!
Regular purchased muffins from your favourite drive through have nearly zero nutrient density and are high in it’s flour and sugar content. Most muffin recipes are similar in their content. Eating muffins like these can leave us feeling tired and hungrier soon after the sugar rush subsides and that’s just plain icky.
Here’s what makes this little darling different and so awesome:
– packed with plant protein
– packed with plant fiber
– nut free
– diary free
– wheat free
– sugar free
– satisfies hunger
– DELICIOUS!!
These make a great snack or a quick breakfast on the go. Give them a try and a guarantee they will be a big hit!
Here’s my recipe…
