Hot Cross Bun Muffins (low carb)

Hot Cross Bun Muffins (low carb)

These were actually a side gig while I was on a bit of a vegan cake baking extravaganza. Best side gig I could have hoped for haha! They turned out moist, flavoursome and delicious on the first try which is amazing.  I added 'Easter' flavours to this but you could flavour them however you like!
