03.10.2022

These are the healthiest, nutrient packed muffs you will find! They're juicy, tart and fluffy...packed with fresh cherries and a hint of almond extract. Topped with a crunchy superfood brittle made of toasted almonds, chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp hearts and coconut oil. Andrew isn't a sweets guy and he can't get enough of these healthy treats.
