or would you ping them in the microwave first so its like an apple sauce.. before adding to mixture

you can grate or chop apple and add as is - just reduce the liquid a little as will release juice on cooking! As is cooking apple, may want to increase sugar a tad but depends on how sweet you like it!

Or could cook and use as puree - add to liquid ingredients or use as filling as substitute for jam donut

I would add a little cinnamon too!

I think Susan Reimer has a apple recipe version in her book - an look it up
and post if you like.

I like the sound of the coconut variations - will have to try that in next batch!

Muffins are fantastic! I also bake in loaf tins to get cakes - the coconut and cherry one would be good that way! Only thing is loaf cake doesn't last as long as a dozen muffins!

Hmm maybe I'll knock up a batch for breakfast tomorrow - plain with jam and butter for brekkie...:drool:

I've just made some coconut banana muffins but I suppose you could use cherries instead

2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup shredded coconut
1 cup milk
1 large egg, beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup mashed bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Usual method of mixing all dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ones in another, then stirring into dry. Bake at 190C/Gas 5 20 mins.

Well. I just put this recipe to the test.

No way this enough liquid. I realised this halfway through mixing dry and wet together! Added an extra egg, another 2 tbns of oil and 4 tbns milk. Still a fairly heavy mix and of course ultimately probably had more stirring than it should. I will report back on how they turn out.

Won't be a happy bunny if I've wasted the ingredients though. :mad:

PS I used proper cup measures, not just any teacup.


PPS - well all I can say is thank goodness I have a reasonable amount of baking experience and was able to rescue what could have been a disastrous waste of ingredients. They are actually delicious
