This cheeky sneaky little number uses the old Choko! An abundant vegetable in winter -is what your Granny used to trick you with when she made her apple pie – but only after she had served it up at dinner as a vegetable with lashings of butter and pepper!!
Lunchbox fillers – grab and go meals on the run. This one is delicious warm with lashings of butter. Or on its own in your lunch box. It has a light fluffy texture but is packed with goodness that will keep you going till well after lunch. If its more fibre you’re after add a teaspoon of Psyllium Husk Powder and you’re off and racing. Its a little involved ( as all good things are never easy) but once you’ve made them – you will love them. And you will have a healthy stash in your freezer. Make big muffins or make mini to make them last longer – this is also delicious in a loaf pan for days of coffee with friends.
