apple cinnamon and banana spelt muffins
Slightly indulgent in sweetness, but full of fruity goodness, spelt wholesomeness and cinnamon warmth, these muffins are such a comforting treat after a long dog walk teamed up with a hot drink, a log fire and the papers maybe!
So, so simple to make, I hope you give them a try and add to your kids’ lunch boxes or share with friends when catching up.

the health boost tip
Apple and cinnamon is a tried, tested and much loved flavour combination in my house and these muffins are truly delicious and packed with fruit and natural fibre. With no eggs or dairy this is a great recipe to keep up your sleeve for food allergies or intolerances.
