In my household we are fortunate not to have any food allergies to be concerned about, however I know that many of you face food allergies on a daily basis. I used to cook a lot with Nuttelex but for some reason I had completely forgot about it. Nuttelex is such a great alternative to margarine and butter as it is DAIRY, MILK & LACTOSE FREE; SUCROSE & EGG FREE; NUT OIL FREE;GLUTEN FREE (there’s no wheat, no rye, no barley or malt) and it’s TOTALLY YEAST FREE. Click here for more information.
The second dairy free ingredient in the muffin is Almond Breeze Almond Milk. I have been enjoying this milk in my coffee and cereal for the past 7 months as normal milk when consumed by the cup full would always make my stomach feel bloated and generally blurgh. Almond Milk has been such a great alternative and it also tastes great and is better for you. A new flavour was launched last week Unsweetened Almond Milk with Natural Vanilla – the vanilla flavour makes for a yummy vanilla coffee and is noticeably tasty in these muffins. Find out more here.
These two perfect alternative ingredients led me to tweaking my basic muffin recipe to make it dairy free for any of my readers that can’t have dairy. These muffins are perfect to freeze as well, making them convenient for taking to work or school each day.

This is NOT a sponsored post I just wanted to share two great alternative products that I have been enjoying.
