- Nut free (if you are ok with nuts and would like some extra good fats in this recipe feel free to add a small handful of walnuts… would be lovely!)
- Great for school lunches and treats
- Add a handful of frozen berries or extra dark chocolate chips and make your muffins extra special!
- Nutrient dense – wholemeal spelt flour is rich in fibre, B vitamins and phytonutrients. It is a wonderful whole grain.
