If you are looking for something different for the school or work lunchboxes following the Easter holidays, or collecting picnic recipes for the coming season, this is a great one to add to your repertoire. These savoury muffins are made with Good Hemp Milk which means they are vegan friendly too, although non-vegans might want to add cheese for extra bite. You can use whatever flavours you like really, but the spinach, leek and basil combination is delicious.
