These muffins look really delicious! And such a nutritious treat
You come up with the most unusual, unique creations! Are these muffins slightly savoury, given that nori is usually salty?
What a fantastic idea! I never would have thought to use nori in muffins.
Never thought of Seaweed muffins...very curious about what they taste like. They look beautiful for sure.
