EASY APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 C (390 F) standard / 180 C (350 F) fan-forced. Grease a 12-hole muffin pan well with butter or olive oil spray or line with cupcake liners.
• In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon and whisk briefly. Add chopped apples. Stir just to cover the apple pieces in the flour mixture.
• To a small bowl, add oil, vanilla and eggs whisk briefly just to break up the egg yolks. Make a well in the middle of your dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients, along with the buttermilk.
• Very gently fold until the mixture is just combined - be careful not to over mix or your muffins will be tough.
• Spoon out the mixture into your prepared tin. Depending on how much apple you added, you might be able to squeeze 14 muffins out of this batch.
• Bake for 5 minutes before turning down the heat to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced and bake for a further 13-15 minutes or golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
• While the muffins are still warm, brush the tops with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon, then generously sprinkle over each muffin.

BERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Sift the dry ingredients together.
• Mix in the eggs, oil, butter, milk and vanilla.
• Fold in your choice of berries.
• (I get a blend of frozen berries at my grocery store--raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries. These make a great mixed berry muffin,and they're much more economical than fresh. But use what you have) Pour into lightly greased, standard 12 muffin pan, or large 6 muffin pan.
• (Tip-an ice cream scoop makes easy work of this task, and muffins are the same size.) Bake for 30-40 minutes, start checking at 30 minutes or so.
• Cool in pan on rack for about 5 minutes, then turn on out on rack to cool.

APPLE & SULTANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a large bowl mix the self-raising flour, baking powder, cinnamon, wholemeal flour and golden caster sugar.
• In another bowl, mix the eggs, semi-skimmed milk and sunflower oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well, then stir in the grated apples and sultanas.
• Divide the mix between 12 muffin cases and bake for 25 mins. Cool on a wire rack, then pack in a container for lunch.
