Pumpkin and Sultana Muffins

Homemade muffins make a filling and nutritious snack option. These muffins combine the natural goodness of pumpkin with the sweetness of sultanas to create a deliciously unique taste. The addition of spices brings out the flavour of the pumpkin, as well as adding an interesting twist to these baked goodies. With a light and fluffy texture they really are such a healthy treat.

These muffins make a great snack or light breakfast alternative. They also freeze well so you can store them for lunchboxes later in the week. Simply take one out in the morning and allow it to defrost, or heat in a microwave for just under a minute. Additionally, they are moist and flavourful so you don’t need to top with extras if you are on the run. Also, try using a combination of white and wholemeal flour to get the health benefits of the wholemeal flour without the heaviness.
