    BreakfastMuffins. Just dont tell the kids whats in them.

    Oven 180C
    175g SR flour
    50g porridge oats
    140g light muscavado sugar
    2 tsp cinnamon
    175g stoned prunes chopped up really small
    85g pecans
    6tbsp sunflower oil
    1 egg
    150g natural yoghurt
    1 tsp vanilla essence
    2tbsp milk

    Tip all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix.
    Beat oil, egg, vanilla, yoghurt and milk then very lightly stir into dry ingredients until just mixed.(sometimes use fromage frais or any yoghurt thats OOD in the fridge :rotfl: kids never know!)
    Spoon into muffin cases (7 - 10) or more if you use the mini ones
    Bake 20 mins or until risen and golden.

    Can thoroughly recommend Kazmeisters breakfast muffin recipe. Not just for kids who won't eat brekkie, I eat on one the way to work if I haven't had time for food and feel very virtuous and surprisingly full.:D

    Thanks guys - I did search for muffins but got loads and loads of weird threads and could not find muffins:o
    It's not paranoia if they really are after you.

    No, I have tried lots of recipes and so has my OH, unfortunately they never taste like Tesco's double chocolate.

    This is a basic muffin mix - make sure you stir it as little as possible, dont know why, but the more you mix them, the 'heavier' they turn out!!!

    10oz plain flour
    3 tsp baking powder
    3oz sugar
    1 egg
    8floz (240ml) milk
    3 floz (90ml) corn oil or 3 oz melted butter (i normally use butter)

    190 C - 20 - 25 mins

    You can add extra ingredients, our fav is raspberries and white chocolate, i never weigh it out, just add as much as i think (or have available!!!)
  • Hi
    The vote from our family would be for the Nigella muffins. We make the Christmas ones from Domestic Goddess and just don't ice them! They never last long in our house!:rotfl:
