Hot Cross Muffins

A delicious gluten and dairy free take on a classic, our Hot Cross Muffins.
Using almond meal as the base means they’re much higher in protein and significantly lower in carbs than the usual wheat-flour-based counterparts. Lightly spiced with the usual delicious flavours of hot cross buns, you won’t want to go back to the carb-heavy original. Serve warm with butter or your favourite dairy-free alternative.
