There is nothing better than sinking your teeth into a warm, delicious muffin with a cup of tea, at the end of the day.

Granola Muffin Nutrition Content

These scrumptious muffins are filled with the goodness of apples, dates, and sultanas which are high in fibre.

Be careful of the granola you choose.  Most store-bought granola is high in sugar and can contain unhealthy fats and oils. They can also be packed with fillers.  It is important to read the ingredients carefully and choose the brand that you deem to be the healthiest.

Homemade granola can be the healthiest option and is often very easy to make. Most of the store-bought stuff is high in sugar, contains unhealthy fats and oils, and can be packed full of fillers and unnecessary ingredients.
