We've been cooking...

Light, moist and full of flavour, we probably make these berry muffins every couple of weeks, make them and you'll see why. They take about 20 minutes to prep, less if you can persuade the kids to help.

These are ideal for packed lunches (f they don’t get scoffed straight out of the oven) and they freeze really well. Take one out of the freezer in the morning and it’ll be ready to eat by lunchtime.
