Apple Sultana Muffins

School has been back for the past few weeks. How are all you other Mum’s been feeling? I am sad & happy all at the same time. We had a beautiful last week of the holidays over on the East Coast of Tasmania with our kids. Sun, surf, beach, food - such a dream. Anyways, got home the arvo before school started and got stuck into the kitchen with my 9yo to make some school lunch treats. We whipped up these muffins in 10 minutes - and they went down a treat 🙂

If you want a gluten-free option, you could switch the spelt flour out with buckwheat flour.
