Lemon Nigella Seed Muffins

Accredited nutritionist and Hab Shifa ambassador, Faye James has developed a family-friendly, nutrient-rich recipe – an all-occasion treat, Lemon Nigella Seed Muffins, for the family to enjoy.

• The Lemon and Nigella seed muffins have a secret superfood ingredient to help boost your immunity – Black Seed. Black Seed pertains many health benefits as it’s high in antioxidants and rich in thymoquinone, which has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
• According to Faye “Black Seed has a delicious robust flavour that’s slightly bitter and spicy. It’s often compared to cumin seed, onion and oregano but has a nuttier flavour.”
