CHIA LEMON MUFFINS
Who doesn’t like a touch of something sweet now and again? Add some extra nutritional elements and these little muffins become a very healthy go-to snack or dessert.
Chia means ‘strength’ in Mayan so maybe consuming a muffin or two will make us stronger.
Delicious eaten warm with a touch of butter or just as they are. Perfect either way.
