macadamia, coconut and sesame muffin

The perfect go-to healthy snack.

These muffins are not the fluffy, pumped up, but nutritionally barren baked treat that you often find in coffee shops. They’re grain, gluten and dairy free yet moist, full of flavour and plenty sweet. Careful snacking on them though; the healthy fats, fibre and nut protein in the whole food ingredients mean that the second or third one could easily nail your appetite!

And quick to make? Is 40 seconds fast enough for you? With the Vibe Blender System, coconut, macadamia and sesame muffins are ridiculously quick and easy!
