SUMMER SQUASH MUFFINS

Steps:

• MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
• In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and 2 tsp. vanilla until light and fluffy. Spoon into a piping bag. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• MAKE THE MUFFINS
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt together and reserve.
• Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, grated squash, vegetable oil and remaining 2 tsp. vanilla until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until incorporated. (Do not over mix.)
• Scoop the batter into 16 greased muffin pan cups, completely filling each cup.
• Bake on the middle rack 20 to 25 min. or until the muffins are golden brown and the tops of the muffins bounce back when you press on them. (Test with a bamboo skewer to make sure the centers of the muffins are done.)
• Cool the muffins for 5 min., then remove the muffins from the pan to a wire rack and let them cool another 20 min.
• Use an apple corer to remove the centers of the muffins; fill centers of muffins with the cream cheese frosting. Pipe a rosette onto the top of each muffin with the remaining cream cheese mixture. Reserve the removed muffin cores for snacking.

SUMMER FRUIT CRUMBLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Beat 100g of the butter and the caster sugar together using an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, beat for 1 min, then mix in the yogurt, vanilla and milk. Combine 250g of the flour with the baking powder and bicarb in a bowl with ¼ tsp salt, then stir this into the wet ingredients.
• Spoon 2 tbsp of the batter into each paper case. Gently push two raspberries each into four of the cases, two or three blackberries into another four and a large spoonful of chopped peaches into the final four. Divide the rest of the batter between the cases, spooning it over the fruit, then top with more berries or peaches, to match the filling.
• Mix the remaining 50g flour and 25g butter together with your fingers until the mixture clumps together in small chunks, then stir in the demerara sugar. Sprinkle a little of the crumble mixture over each muffin, then bake for 22-25 mins until risen, golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.
