Elderflower and almond muffins

Theseelderflower and almond muffinsare made with oil rather than batter so they can be eaten by dairy allergy sufferers. Also, they are not too sweet so ideal for diabetics and those who look after their health. Next time I’ll add some milk/almond milk to the batter to make the muffins a bit lighter and leave out the baking soda. The batter is enough for 6 large muffins or 12 mini ones. I usedhome-made elderflower cordialand light brown sugar, so that’s why the muffins look caramel on the picture.
