Amazing Muffins
These muffins are truly wonderful. After baking them my kitchen smelt heavenly. I do believe these are the first muffins I have ever made. These are very filling, but they are so addictive you will need a lot of will power to stop yourself from stuffing your belly. The prunes and pecans also add great textures, I can't believe these are not sold elsewhere. These muffins beat the ones at Starbucks hands down! Where's my crown?
I altered this recipe on the back of a packet of prunes. I significantly reduced the amount of sugar and tweaked some other ingredients to taste.
Ingredients:
350g self raising flour (sieved), 220g brown sugar, 100g porridge oats, 4tsps ground cinnamon, 1tsp bicarbonate of soda, 2 medium eggs (beaten), 300ml buttermilk, 2tsps sunflower oil, 350g prunes (chopped), 150g pecans (crushed).
Method:
1. Rub together the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda to make sure everything is combined well.
2. Add the beaten eggs into the flour.
3. Add the buttermilk and sunflour oil. Stir gently.
4. Fold in the prunes and pecans.
5. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees C/ Gas 6.
6. Put 12 muffin cases into a 12 muffin tin holder.
7. Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cases.
8. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.
9. Leave to cool for a little bit, but they taste great warm.
Saffy's Top Tip
Place the left over mixture into a small baking tray and even the top with the back of a spoon or knife. Bake while baking the muffins and make muffin bars! You can divide these into rectangles and eat them as snacks on the go.
