ALL-IN-ONE MUFFINS/ IRON RICH MUFFINS

You must have been surprised looking at the name of the recipe that I am going to share with you today. I have called it All-in-one muffins because; it has chicken, spinach, eggs, wheat bread, almonds and raisins which are all rich in iron and very healthy.

Nowadays, iron deficiency is very common in women and the sad part is that most of them are not aware of it to fight it. Hair fall, tiredness and pale skin are some of the common symptoms of iron deficiency. Anaemia can be avoided by following a healthy lifestyle along with an iron rich diet. Spinach, Beetroot, oats, eggs, chicken, fish, etc are all rich in iron and including them in our regular diet is very helpful in fighting iron deficiency.

So it is better to start at the earliest and eat foods that are rich in Iron. All-in one muffins are iron rich, easy to make and are simply delicious. You can make this for breakfast, brunch or as a snack with tea. I served it as an evening snack along with tomato ketchup and everyone at home simply loved it. These muffins are a perfect combination of health and taste. The good thing about these muffins is that you can modify it according to your taste by adding more vegetables or lentils or any other seasoning to make it more healthy and tasty.  

This recipe makes 6 muffins (you can increase the proportion of ingredients if you are making more)

4 slices of wheat bread

1 tsp pepper powder (or to taste)

1 cup milk
