Fruits of the forest muffins
by
For breakfast, with a cup of tea, or packed in a lunchbox, these fluffy, fruity muffins from Andy McLeish have delicious nuggets of white chocolate hidden inside and a crunchy oat topping. Any seasonal berries would work well in these muffins, but frozen berries are a good option when they're not in season.
