If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m all about a weekend breakfast or brunch, featuring eggs, pancakes, waffles – you name it! I’ve always found it more difficult to come up with weekday breakfasts which I actually look forward to, or can be used as snacks throughout the day. I’m also trying to incorporate a little more fruit and fibre into my diet to help with IBS-C symptoms I’ve experienced during the lockdown (I think it’s all down to the reduced movement – I’d normally be exceeding 10,000 steps at school). I do go for a daily walk, and try and complete 30 minutes of yoga or a quick cycle on an indoor exercise bike, but it’s not quite the same I don’t think!
These Orange Breakfast Muffins are quick to make and taste lovely on their own, or with a little added lactose-free yoghurt on the side. You could also try incorporating other fruits, I might try a blueberry version next, watch this space!
The muffins will keep for around 3-5 days in an airtight container, although they do go a little moist after this point (still edible, just not quite as nice to bite into!) You could however freeze them to enjoy at a later date! Make sure they have cooled right down, pop into an airtight container or freezer bag, then freeze for up to three months. Then, take a muffin out the freezer the night before you want to eat it.
Note: If you are coeliac, make sure you use gluten free oats (if you are just low FODMAP there is no risk of cross contamination for us, so we can eat standard porridge oats).
