Aprons on? Let‘s Cook!

I had some leftover quinoa and millet from recipe testing so I made these oaty berry muffins with the leftovers and they taste great, plus they are nut free so a great lunchbox addition!
We tend to avoid gluten (we don’t suffer with intolerance but it’s usually found in processed/low nutrient food and is pretty inflammatory…which is why we don’t use gluten flours in our kits). The downside is that we probably don’t eat enough grains, so I recently stocked up on millet and quinoa which are fantastic sources of fibre and nutrients, making them doubly good for lunchboxes!
