Need an excuse to eat a muffin?
These muffins are packed with Vitamin B which helps you convert food into energy and metabolize fats and proteins!
They are also a great source of Vitamin C, need for immune health & Vitamin A, which helps your skin, eyesight, bones, reproductive system and also supports the immune system.
Not to mention, these muffins also contain a good amount of magnesium & iron which is super important for us women and those who are anemic.
Have I convinced you yet? (But I didn’t even get to talk about how delicious they are and how much my little nephew Porter even LOVES them – yes it got the stamp of approval from a 2 year old).
BONUS tip: spread coconut oil on them instead of butter for even more energy and watch it melt over these hot cross buns!
