I'm dying to make the coconut and cherry but not enough to go out specially for the coconut (I live in the sticks and petrol is expensive, ho hum)

oops_a_daisy

I made some raspberry and white chocolate ones on Saturday but we ate them all on Saturday night so I made some blueberry ones today and managed to get them all in the freezer before we managed to eat them they are so easy to make but also too nice :rotfl: will be trying cherry ones next but wont put coconut in as we dont like that

ooooo just had a re read and will be making some with banana in too - I can see my waist line expanding rapidly

BASIC MUFFIN INGREDIENTS

9oz plain flour
3 tsps baking powder
half a teaspoon salt
4-6oz white sugar
1 egg
8 fl oz milk
3fl oz vegetable oil

YOU COULD ADD:-

3oz choc chips and 1 teaspoon vanilla essence or

3-4oz dried fruit, but increase liquid by 1-2 tablespoons or

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

Thanks for this Sara! I don't do metric (it's my age!:o ) and these worked brilliantly! i added blueberries and topped with dem sugar and they are yummy!

I did cut the sugar down by half though! they still worked out ok.

Hi catznine,
Yes it's a very forgiving recipe! I usually put a bit less sugar in than the recipe says too (and try to tell myself they'll be less fattening - my *increasing girth says otherwise :eek: ).

*Maybe that's because I'm a feet n inches etc girl too, if ya know what I mean !!!!

My first ever purchase off ebay was some fancy electronic kitchen scales which luckily do metric and imperial.

youve all got me mad on making muffins! on tuesday I did a search for 'cherries' on here as i had some past their best...... I have not baked in 15 years, now I am addicted! my freezer is chock full of cherry ones, apple and cinnamon, and i am now going to embark on carrot n orange, using the thrifty lady recipe...........thanks to all posters (i wont be saying thanks when I weigh a stone more though eh???!)

This may be a silly question, I love making muffins but have never thought of freezing them before. Do I just put them in the freezer and when I want one (ie in the lunchbox) just get it out of the freezer and let it defrost?

Also if anyone has any ideas for breakfast muffins I would love to hear them.

Samminich, I put them in lunchboxes straight from the freezer and they've defrosted by lunchtime.
I do make the lunches at 6 in the morning though!

Hi - I want to make some muffins as my tiddly peeps are not keen on toast anymore so could eat these instead for breakfast.

Anyone got any easy recipes ?

Savoury ones as well as sweet ?

Thanks
