Magic Muffins

Why is this recipe magic? The variations are only limited by your imagination; they freeze well, are quick to make, double as dessert and are a great way of using fruit that is not quite right!  There is only one rule – do not overmix or your muffins will be tough.
Total Time 40 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 12 large muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups SR flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 60 grams (1/4 cup) butter melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup fruit (see below)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup SR flour

Instructions
 

Muffins

  • Preheat oven to 200C
  • Get out one large mixing bowl and two smaller bowls
  • Combine 1 ½ cups SR flour and 2 tablespoons sugar in large bowl.
  • Whisk together milk, eggs and vanilla in second bowl.
  • Mix fruit, ½ cup sugar and ¼ cup flour in the third bowl
  • Pour the milk mix (bowl 2) and melted butter onto the dry ingredients, stir until combined (remember don’t overmix)
  • Then add the fruit mix and stir again until just combined.
  • Spoon into a lined muffin tray and bake at 200C for 20 minutes (paper ‘patty/muffin’ pans don’t work well for muffins, they stick. 
  • Line with baking paper or grease and lightly flour)

Fruit

  • One cup of any of the following fruits – or choose your own:
    Apple (diced, skin on) and add 1 teaspoon cinnamon to dry mix
    Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
    Mango (fresh or frozen) and 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
    Peaches or nectarines that aren’t going to ripen
    Raspberries (fresh or frozen) and 2 tablespoons white choc bits

TIPS

Lining your muffin tray: tear 6 strips of baking paper (about 12cm wide), cut each strip in half and press into pan then spoon mixture on top.  
If you want a quick dessert, heat in the microwave and top with a drizzle of honey and some ice cream or cream.
