Berry Muffins

[Aurelia]

This is a recipe that really impressed me - the muffins are delicious and so moist. It's a recipe from Dorset Cereals (a cereal company in England) that I tried out a little over a year ago and I've been making them ever since. Super easy and so, so good. I haven't been able to find Dorset Cereals in America yet, so for those who can't get hold of them, just add an extra 50g frozen berries and 50g oatmeal (the plain oats, not flavoured ones) to compensate for that :)

 

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Baking time: 20 minutes

Makes: 12

 

Ingredients:

200 g plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

100 g Dorset Cereals Berries & Cherries Muesli

225 ml plain yogurt

1 egg, beaten

90 g light brown soft sugar

75 ml semi-skimmed milk

75 ml vegetable oil

100 g berries, fresh or frozen (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

 

1. Place 12 muffin cases in a muffin tin and preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6.

 

2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the muesli and yogurt together. ( I will add here, somehow I completely missed out the part with the muesli and yogurt at this step the first time I made them - I added them separately at the end of step 3 and my muffins still came out fine, plus one less bowl to clean!)

 

3. Add the egg, sugar, milk and oil to the flour mixture and stir to combine.

 

4. Stir in the muesli mixture (or just add both in separately like I did!) until just combined, then gently stir in the berries (I used frozen raspberries and blackberries).

 

5. Divide the mixture into the muffin cases and bake for 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

 

6. Leave to cool and then enjoy!

Looks very tasty.

 

But it looks very hard to make, to you it is easy but for me it looks like a big challenge. I'm still a dorf when it comes to cooking.
