Healthy breakfast alternative to muffins

Eating fattening muffins daily can pile on the calories so here are some ideas that you could adopt to make them healthier.

Make your own muffins!

1. Make your own muffin mix instead of purchasing ready-made muffins.

2.You could add some grated fruit or vegetables for a variety of flavours. Options may include grated carrots, apples, cranberries or even chopped pecan nuts.

3. Don’t forget to add a thin slice of cheese to help boost your calcium intake, instead of smothering on layers of sweetened jam.

An added advantage is that muffins freeze well and can be defrosted in just in a few seconds.
