Nothing like a single serve muffin – yours and yours alone. They travel well and perfect at breakfast or for a mid-day snack with a cup of tea.
These were adapted from a health and wellness site and we always them on hand for our gluten free guests at the Whispering Pines B&B (and for the team, too!) 😉

Notes
They freeze well.
They are a great gluten free option and we don’t feel the need for the glaze.
Alternatively, if not serving immediately, you could opt to warm briefly in microwave and top them with glaze just before serving.
