High Fibre Gluten-Free Muffins

These muffins pack a punch when it comes to nutrition. They are loaded with healthy fats, soluble and insoluble fibre, and a fair amount of protein. Unlike normal muffins, these won't leave you with a blood sugar dip an hour later. The use of xylitol is useful in case of blood sugar dysregulation. You can swap the seeds for seeds of your choosing. However, I recommend keeping the ground almonds and ground flax seeds for the right consistency.

These are great for on the go snacks or even a healthy breakfast treat. Enjoy!
