Your average muffin is something that masquerades as a quick and easy option for breakfast or as a snack with a coffee but one that will inevitably give you two parting gifts: instant regret and the worst sugar crash of your life.

However, muffins are now creeping back as something a lot healthier if you’re willing to stock up on a few ingredients and set aside a bit of time one evening to make a batch of them. Think fairycakes but savoury, with more protein, and flavour options.

In any of the recipes that use regular flour you can change that to a gluten-free flour if needs be. The best thing about these is they freeze really well, so you can just grab them from the freezer when in a pinch for breakfast or lunch!
