Jacq makes Fruit Bran Muffins, a wholesome batch bake that’s perfect for lunchboxes and snack time. Wheat bran softens in Greek yoghurt, then gets mixed with wholemeal flour, honey and cinnamon for a tender muffin base. Sultanas, frozen blueberries and chopped apple add bursts of fruit in every bite, then they bake up golden in under 30 minutes. Cool, pack, and enjoy for an easy make ahead treat.
