Gut Friendly Raspberry Vanilla Muffins; light and fluffy vanilla muffins studded with fresh raspberries that go easy on your gut!

GIFTED

I, like many others in our modern world, suffer from IBS. Unfortunately, this means there are certain foods and drinks that can cause me some digestive suffering if I have them.

IBS is used as a vague term to describe a range of digestive disorders. Some people have symptoms triggered by stress or adrenaline, others are more easily affected by dietary influences.

The big bullies in my diet are caffeine and fried foods. One is usually required to keep working adults functioning, the other is just downright delicious. Sadly though, I have to limit them to avoid some serious pain…and other less desirable digestive effects.

I am often in search of snacks that won’t cause me any problems. Sometimes they can be difficult to find. “Healthy snacks” can be loaded with fibre that is difficult to digest in isolation, so causes bloating and fast processing. Regular junk foods snacks can have the opposite effect.

That’s where these Gut Friendly Raspberry Vanilla Muffins come in.

Bioglan Superfoods kindly gifted me a sachet of their new Digestive Boost powder. As eyebrow-raising as that title may be, this stuff is pretty impressive. It contains a blend of healthy fibre, as well as digestive enzymes to help process that fibre, and anti-inflammatory ingredients like ground turmeric. It’s not some chalky protein powder you have to reluctantly chug, it’s to be added in small amounts to regular sweet recipes to give you just that, a digestive boost.

If you want to give the Digestive Boost a try, click here. Otherwise, these muffins can easily be made without it and still be utterly delicious!

These Gut Friendly Raspberry Vanilla Muffins are all about being kind to your lower digestive tract. Sexy, eh? They are dairy free, low in sugar, and they contain fresh berries and a little Digestive Boost.

Feel free to give these Peach White Chocolate Muffins a try too!

Like all good muffins should be, these Gut Friendly Raspberry Vanilla Muffins are fluffy, gently sweet and have a voluptuous domed top. With juicy fresh raspberries and a light vanilla glaze, you’d be hard-pushed to say no. They make for a lovely breakfast, or a healthy snack. Not that I need to tell you how or when to eat muffins, of course.

The muffins can be baked in just 20 minutes. Using your oven on a high heat ensures maximum rise and fluffiness, and in much less time that it would take to bake cupcakes or flapjacks, for example.
