Juice of ½ a lemon
40g Xylitol
40g Walnuts (Omit for Fat Free)
40g Raisins
½ Cup / 125ml Water

2. Add the Water, Egg and Lemon Juice and mix gently untill combined
3. Spoon into a well greased muffin tin, do not use papers as these will stick (weld!) to the muffin
5. Bake in a preheated oven (Gas Mark 5) for 45-50 mins until the tops are golden and a knife comes out almost clean. Leave to cool then glaze with Lemon Glaze if desired

    Hi! Glad you like the recipe! :) I just did a rough count - if you make three large Muffins the nutritional stats per muffin are approx: Calories:370 Fat:19g Carbs:35g Protein:9g

    Hope that helps! I'm going to add Nutritional Labels to all my Recipes soon!
