Blueberry, Lemon and Yoghurt Muffins

Muffins have the benefit of being suitable for breakfast or as a snack any time of the day.

This basic muffin recipe has been made healthier by substituting for wholemeal flour for added fibre, oats for slow burning energy, yoghurt for a calcium boost, olive oil for healthy fats and the berries for added natural sweetness.

If not consumed within 3 days, wrap in glad wrap and freeze. Thaw out prior to eating.
