If you're in need of a grab and go breakfast recipe these delicious muffins are perfect!
I don't think I'll ever tire of breakfast muffins, it's literally the definition of having cake for breakfast and I'm so here for it. I also adore anything carrot cake flavour, and these muffins are exactly that. The spices in any carrot cake variation are what makes it pop, and I've included walnuts and sultanas for some added texture and crunch. Walnuts I discovered recently are a good plant source containing the essential Omega-3's which contributes to good brain health. So having them in your morning breakfast muffin is a great way to start the day! I also read somewhere that foods sometimes represent their function - so walnuts look like a brain and that's also what they do - quite a funny way of looking at it, not sure whether it's true or not but I like the idea of it :) I've added oat flour in this recipe (ground down oats) because oats are also a great ingredient to have for breakfast or to include in your diet. I've made these muffins sound super healthy and 'clean' but I don't like to think of foods in that way, I just like to include foods that are generally better for our health. Don't worry they are so tasty, and I love to enjoy sweet things too as you should know by now ;)
