Overnight Date and Muesli Muffins

A filling, classic, healthy muffin that is simple to prepare. Best eaten while it’s hot with a dollop of butter.

The batter is prepared in advance and left overnight, giving me the convenience to just heat up the oven and scoop the batter into the muffin pan and it’s ready in 30 minutes.
