I made some lovely muffins recently, perfect for those mornings when you just want to grab something and get on with the day.
They're full of good stuff; bananas, blueberries, seeds, oats, wholemeal flour...
Here's a link to the original recipe.
I added in a few more blueberries, used pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds and flaxseeds on top and reduced the amount of cinnamon by half just because I don't like too strong a taste of cinnamon.
