My hubby loves to keep fit and exercises most days. If he’s not kayaking or running, you’ll find him in the gym. In keeping with his healthy lifestyle, he watches fairly carefully what he eats, so these healthy muffins are perfect for him to take to work for morning tea. Mind you, I find them pretty hard to resist too … they’re absolutely delicious and freeze beautifully. Enjoy!
