After finely biting the bullet to commit to joining Slimmingworld I decided I needed to get my head around the Syn system so my latest obsession was born. Having read the books from cover to cover about 3 times, I think I have now got my head around it, so here we go. These muffins are packed full of veggies and are gluten free, made with just 60 grams of Black Bomber strong cheese, which considering it makes about 12 muffins, makes them quite light on fat as well. Perfect when you need a good old savoury smack in the mouth! I think this equates to under 2 (1.66 to be exact) Syns per muffin.
