Almond Croissant Breakfast Muffins
"We recently made an almond croissant-inspired Baked Oats recipe that got millions of views so we knew we had to make a breakfast muffin version. These muffins have all the flavours of an almond croissant but in a wholesome, easy-to-make muffin form. They’re soft, nutty, and naturally sweetened, making them perfect for a nourishing breakfast or snack."
