Oats, orange juice, orange zest, mango puree and a sprinkle of mixed spice will turn muffins from a treat food to an everyday incredibly low fat breakfast muffin.
This delicious breakfast option at 89 calories per muffin have only a gram of fat. They are breakfast muffins after all, therefore there is very little added sugar. If you prefer, I recommend serving these with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a sprinkling of soft brown sugar. Breakfast is served!

1 cup semi-skimmed milk
1 heaped teaspoon egg replacer

1/2 cup plain gluten free flour
