It felt indulgent and a little bit naughty having cake with jam and cream for breakfast! 
But when it’s this healthy — you don’t need to feel guilty!
Cake – eggs, carrot, apple, sultanas and a little wholemeal spelt flour, nuts and seeds. – That’s it.
Jam – chia seeds and berries. That’s it.
Cream – cashews and vanilla. That’s it.
You never have to feel guilty about indulging with these naturally sweet, wholesome muffins.

The Chia Jam takes no time at all. I make a pot and leave it in the fridge through the week to dollop on everything! On porridge, on seedy bread, with cake, on pancakes, … the list goes on!
Simmer 1 cup of mixed berries in a saucepan with 1 Tbs of chia seed. – Add a squeeze of lemon. When it’s all mushy and soft take off the heat and pour into a little jar. – Keep in the fridge!
The cashew cream is delicious. I’m always amazed by how creamy it turns out!
Soak 1 cup of cashews in water for a couple of hours or overnight. Pop into a blender or bullet blender with a tsp of vanilla and wizz until smooth. If you like your cream a little sweeter, add one date.
You can have this in the fridge for a few days too.
If you make these goodies, they will serve you well for days. I freeze my muffins and then I know I have a stash of goodies in the freezer. It’s worth taking the time and making sure you have good food on hand for yourself!
