Banana and Yoghurt Muffins (Wheat Free)

As I am heading back to work next week and my kiddies back to school, I have been making a few things to pop into the freezer to help fill our lunch boxes.

I love these muffins!  I have been making these muffins for as long as I have been a mum.  I have made them for playgroup morning teas, I have given them to sisters and friends as a healthy snack in those early weeks with their newborns, I have made them for my babies for preschool and school recess snacks.  They are on the healthier side with fruit and bran and I have used spelt flours so as to avoid wheat.  It is also a great way to use some of your homemade TMX yoghurt 😉

 I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
