Muffins are a popular on-the-go snack or meal but are often loaded with refined carbohydrates and not much else, while savoury options aren’t always popular, especially for kids. These sweet muffins are a nice middle ground, offering some sweetness but with added benefits of cooled cooked rice (lowered GI), antioxidant-rich berries, and protein from nuts, eggs, and almond flour, all in a lowered GI formulation (compared to standard muffins) to get your day started and keep you fuller for longer.
