Ooooooh these Lemon Rhubarb Spelt Muffins gave me a run for my money! I first made them last Spring when my backyard rhubarb started growing with gusto, but didn’t have a chance to post them on my blog (life with a one year old got in the way 😉 ). So I carried on makingRead more

I’m really not a fan of those dense muffins you find at most bakeries that require coffee, tea or water just to get them down. Bleck. These guys on the other hand have aRead more
