Breakfast Muffin Recipe

 

 

 

Around a quarter of mothers include cereal bars in their childs lunchbox. (Mintel) However many cereal bars marketed for children contain over 40% sugar with more calories from sugar than in a bar of chocolate. When you eat cereal with milk, much of the sugar is washed away from your teeth, whereas with bars, the combination of fat and sugar means it hangs around, giving bacteria time to get to work turning the sugar to the acids which cause decay.
