Mondays are traditionally for healthy eating but sometimes, the beginning of the week requires sweet tooth satisfaction.
At HerFamily HQ, we appreciate that sometimes, you just NEED a damn muffin. Over time, our grá for sweets and carbs has inspired a search for options that taste amazing but are made from healthy ingredients.
We’re loving these Blueberry & Courgette Muffins, expertly invented by one of our favourite food authors, the incredible Natasha Corret of Honestly Healthy fame.
Natasha’s book earned her a host of celeb devotees, including Victoria Beckham and Natasha herself lost two stone by following her alkaline programme. Find out more about her here.

Next, pour in the wet ingredients into the mixed dry flours and mix until combined.
Put muffin cases into the tin and spoon in the mixture almost to the tops of the muffin cases.
