Muffins are the perfect grab and go option for busy mornings. Even if your not usually a breakfast person, those coffee shop muffins are always a temptation. However those sweet treats tempting you as you wait for your morning brew are usually far from a nutritious way to start your morning.

But I’m not one to want to miss out, so I created these three breakfast muffins with a difference. All vegan of-course, but also with a protein boost, higher in fibre, lower in sugars and each one with their own vitamin and mineral advantages to help get you fuelled for the day ahead.

(and as always they are totally kid approved by my very own mini helpers)
