Date and walnut breakfast muffins
Tasty and bursting with flavour, these breakfast muffins are ideal for on-the-go snacking
If you need a tasty ‘grab-and-go’ for busy work mornings or to nibble en route to a race, try making a batch of my date and walnut muffins with cinnamon streusel topping.
Sweet, moreish and surprisingly healthy, these provide you with slow-releasing carbs, healthy fats, fibre, potassium and iron.
Dates provide antioxidants; flavonoids and phenolic acid, which have anti-inflammatory properties; and carotenoids, proven to promote heart health.
