We love to have muffins as an occasional breakfast option. Usually I try to make them healthy ones, filled with things that are good for you.  They are not meant to be "cake" in my opinion, but that is just me.  These muffins I am sharing with you today are chocker-block full of good things,  but above all they are delicious. You can thank my latest Degustabox delivery for them, because it was the box which inspired me!


As those of you who have been reading me for a while know, I am the lucky recipient of the gift of a Degustabox each month. Once a month, around the middle of the month, I am gifted with one of these lovely boxes which contain a delicious assortment of all things foodie.  I just love these boxes.  Each one is always a lovely surprise.
  
Opening each one is tiny a bit like opening a Christmas gift to me. Always a surprise, and always filled with things that pique my interest and desire to try. Degustabox is a monthly foodie subscription service that sends out a range of 10 to 15 specially selected foodie products. I even have a code that  can give you which will  give you a £5 discount off of your first box. I will tell you about that at the end. I have been getting these boxes for a couple of years now and I have to say I have never been disappointed. 


The March 2020 Box was entitled the "Hello Spring" Box.  It was filled with lots of goodies for us to try and to enjoy.

JUBEL BEER cut with Elderflower 1 X £ 

We discovered an dangerously refreshing beer tradition called demi-peche whilst on a snowy adventure in the French Alps and after searching back at home, we realised that nobody was brewing anything like it. Determined to bring demi-peche refreshment to the masses, we set out on a journey to brew the beer we wanted to drink. The result? A beer with the refreshment of a fruit cider and the sessionability of a crisp lager, at a sociable 4% ABV.

Introducing the newest member of th HOmepride Flour familu. Made from 100% British Wheat Flour, their Superior Sponge Flour is perfect for creating those extra special  bakes such as a classic Viennese sponge.

*Available at Tesco  


Flour is one of the things which is in short supply in this country at the  moment due to hoarding and the Covid 19.  I was thrilled to receive a box of Homepride Superior Sponge Flour in my box!  I am a user of the Homepride range of flours anyways, so I do hope that they will forgive me for using their sponge flour to make muffins.


It is meant to be used for cake baking I know, but we just really wanted muffins.


These Wholesome Seeded Cranberry Muffins are filled with goodness. Plenty of toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds  . . .  and poppyseeds  . . .


They are both in the batter and sprinkled all over the tops  . . .  along with the crunch of demerara sugar.  I believe that is called Turbinado sugar in North America.  It is a less refined sugar with larger crystals, which make for a perfect crunch.


Its also used in the batter . . .  a more natural kind of sweet . . .


Combined with the goodness of a bio natural yogurt  . . .  and plenty of sweet dried cranberries, which are full of vitamin C.


Jus look at how wholesome they look  . . . bejewelled even  . . .


A beautiful texture, filled with plenty of goodness . . .


Perfect for breakfast, brunch, breaktime, lunch.  You name it. These tasty muffins are perfect for anytime!
