This recipe couldn’t be easier, and with a few sneaky switches it’s also low-sugar and low-fat. Grated veg adds moisture to the recipe, and a little sweetness.
While we wouldn’t normally advocate cake for breakfast, in comparison to calorific pastries, these muffins are practically saintly. The low sugar content minimises the risk to you and your children’s teeth, starting the day as you mean to go on.
Easily prepped and baked the day before, this is a delicious start to the day without any washing up to contend with on Mother’s Day morning.
Best served with a side of relaxation, this recipe makes 12 muffins.
