Thank you Schwartz for sponsoring this recipe!
Here we go… first official Christmas recipe of the year!
What do you do for Christmas morning breakfast? In my family we never have a “proper” breakfast because we’re too busy with presents and watching films on TV. So we normally have something that you can eat at the same time.
I tend to bake a batch of my Orange & Cranberry Scones or whip up some Vegan Pancakes with extra Christmas spices.
This year though, I’ve got the perfect breakfast treat… Christmas Morning Muffins!
These muffins are filled with Christmas flavours and are perfect for snacking on as you open gifts and watch Home Alone on the TV.
For this recipe, I’ve focused on cinnamon (with some extra mixed spices) that compliments the clementine and cranberries so well.
The smell of all these Christmassy spices still lingers in my kitchen as I type this :-)
What is your favourite festive flavour?

Warm, comforting muffins filled with festive flavours such as cranberries, clementine and spices! Made without eggs or dairy.
Ingredients
- 250g g self-raising flour
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 100 g light brown sugar
- ½ tbsp ground mixed spice
- ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed, mixed with 2 tbsp water
- 180 ml dairy-free milk
- 3 clementines, (zest and juice)
- 80 ml vegetable oil
- 100 g dried cranberries
- 50 g chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C / 350F and line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, soda and spices.
- In a large jug, mix together the flax "egg", milk, zest and juice and oil.
- Add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix to combine. Stir in the walnuts and cranberries.
- Divide mixture between 10 muffin cases and bake for 20 minutes or until completely baked in the middle (if you insert a toothpick into the centre and it comes out clean - it's baked.)
- Top with a sprinkling of extra sugar, if you wish and leave to cool before enjoying!

Aw, you! I love seeing your kitchen all Christmas-y and decked out. We don’t really sit down to breakfast either on Christmas morning–usually just a brunch or something after we open presents. This year I’m trying to find some wonderful holiday-filled baked treats though…must try these, I love every flavor here <3 thank you for sharing~

These look so good, Aimee! I love the crumb topping. I’m posting a cranberry muffin recipe on Monday, and it’s totally different. I can’t wait to try yours!

What a perfect way to start Christmas Day! ❤️
I’m really excited to try baking these muffins. They’d be a lovely treat to take round to friends/neighbours during the festive period. Do you know where we can buy unwaxed clementines in the UK? I’m struggling to find them anywhere in the shops.
