All But Muffins

[Tullz]

These muffins are drop dead simplicity itself. I bake them at the Cedar Tree Café in the grounds of Vogrie House, Midlothian, where they go down a storm. I use anything that’s kickin' around, needs using up or what I fancy putting in.

They really are mix and match; put in your favourite things, even kids like them, without realising that they are packed full of stuff they say they don't like!

 

The All But Muffin - all but the kitchen sink!

Ingredients:

10oz plain or wholemeal flour

1tsp baking powder

1tsp bicarbonate of soda (bicarb)

1/2 tsp salt

3 large bananas

4oz granulated or Demerara sugar

2oz choc chips or walnuts*

1 egg

2-3oz soured milk (milk with a splash of lemon)

3oz sunflower oil or melted butter

Sunflower and pumpkin seeds, optional

 

Method:

Line a muffin tin with muffin cases.

Put all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.

Mash the banana with egg, milk and oil or butter (* instead of chocolate or walnuts,

I add a mix of dried cranberries, dried blueberries, sultanas or raisins, apricots, grated carrot,

grated apple, dried pineapple, glace or dried sour cherries, prunes, soft dried figs and anything

else at hand into the wet mix. It really is a case of mix and match of whatever you like).

Add wet ingredients to dry, stir lightly and quickly to a soft batter but don’t over mix.

Spoon into muffin tin. If you find you have mixture left over, line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper,

shove in the remaining mixture and bake as below.

Sprinkle with sunflower and pumpkin seeds for extra crunch.

Bake in a hot oven at 190oC/Gas5/Fan oven 170oC for about 18-20 minutes.

Leave in tin to cool slightly, then finish cooling of wire racks.

 

 

Enjoy
