Easy Fruitcake Muffins
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The raisins not only bring natural sweetness to the small cakes, but also fibre, which supports a healthy digestion. The almonds are small all-rounders. They are full of muscle strengthening protein, bone-strengthening calcium, iron for blood formation and healthy fats. They also have a high content of magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin E and niacin, which has a positive effect on our nerve cells.
The cakes in the jar can be eaten directly or decorated with a pretty ribbon as a gift. For this purpose, close the still hot jars tightly, the cakes in the jar will keep for a few weeks and are a popular gift from the kitchen at Christmas. When choosing the jars, you should make sure that they do not get narrower at the opening, because then you can't knock the cake out of the jar.
