Wholegrains and fruit make these muffins high in fibre. Simple modifications (see below) can be made if your family has specific nutrition needs.
If your family requires:
– High energy eating: add 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the recipe, utilise full cream yoghurt and serve with a nut spread, margarine or ricotta cheese.
– Gluten-free eating: omit muesli and oat bran and increase flour to 1 ¾ cups of gluten-free plain flour
– Egg free eating: replace eggs with “No Egg” replacer
**The yoghurt is an important ingredient in this mixture so omitting yoghurt for dairy-free eating is not recommended.
