My household loves these muffins, they are perfect for waking up to on busy, cold, winter mornings.
These muffins are so easy to make, differently delicious and filling. They are tasty and moist, packed with wheat bran, fresh carrots and are plump full of raisins. It is just a few minutes of work and your breakfast is sorted for days. I love baking them during the winter season; I enjoy them with a cup tea especially after a long day at work, a quick idea to warm me up as I decide what to cook for dinner (I try to avoid doing this every day though hahaha!)
I like using brown instead of white sugar.
Try them out, their comforting flavours pair perfectly for a lovely morning treat for the winter season. Say bye to missing breakfast!
