What's in season - January

Winter and citrus fruits go hand in hand in Malta. Lemons are such a versatile fruit and not just as lemon wedges in our sparkling water. Lemons are jam-packed with Vitamin C – just what we need to boost our immune system during these cold Winter months. So, why not kick start your morning with one of these delicious and tangy Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, which are both delicate and moist with tiny crunches of poppy seeds and the citrusy kisses of lemon. Poppy seeds are the perfect addition to any breakfast muffin as they jumpstart your digestion system in the morning due to their high fibre content. Bake, glaze and enjoy!
