I've almost never baked before - not only did I have to buy ingredients, I had to buy a few utensils too! This recipe was a great 'first' - absolutely 100% successful. I'm ready to impress my friends now!

Each muffin provides 850 kilojoules (approximately 200 calories). Hence, a single muffin is an appropriate snack or lunchbox addition. Plus, these muffins are a good source of fibre.

Just made these - so easy!! I substituted peaches for tinned plums and it worked the same. Very happy :)

Could you please give me the nutritional values for these? Do you have any low carb, low fat, baking recipes? I am looking for recipes for a pre-diabetic person with a bit of a sweet tooth.

Hi Lucy, thanks for your query. We would recommend looking out for our Healthy Pick recipes, these are lower fat recipes for meals. For baking and desserts those which meet the criteria for Healthy Pick would be more suitable for you. You can see the criteria if you go through to the Nutrition page and then click on the Healthy Pick logo. We hope this helps.
