I created my Gluten Free Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, Spinach and Feta Muffins as a quick healthy lunch option (also delicious for breakfast). If you are looking for a gluten and egg free savoury muffin look no further. This muffin is packed full of wholesome ingredients and has the the perfect crunchy muffin top and fluffy texture within. For lunch I love to have my muffin warm with some organic butter and with a raw energy salad or with my homemade roasted pumpkin soap. If you are in a rush they the perfect lunch on the go. Enjoy x
