Carrot, almond & ginger muffins
About this recipe
Grab your Lizi’s Organic Nuts and Seeds Granola to get baking and serve up these tasty carrot, almond and ginger muffins. They are as simple to make as they are delicious in flavour – and what’s more, because we’re using Lizi’s as the base, they are naturally lower in sugar and high in fibre. With a little maple syrup for sweetness and the added zing of ginger, our muffins are perfect for dark winter mornings – or, for that matter, dark winter evenings, lunchtimes, elevenses, afternoon teas…
