Serve with a cup of organic coffee and 100% fruit spread. If you're responsible for feeding people who are finicky about eating healthy stuff, this is a tasty way to get them to eat more roughage in their diet without them knowing it's good for them. You can replace the sultanas in the recipe with any fruit you have to give the muffins a different taste and texture.
