Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for me and I look forward to my morning treat before I go to bed. These are my delicious healthy breakfast muffins which are so easy to make! Apples and walnuts are the perfect combination as you get the crunchiness of the walnuts combined with the soft gooey-ness of the apples. YUM!
Since I try to limit myself to one muffin a day (which is pretty darn hard!) I freeze my muffins when they have completely cooled, and each morning, I put one in the microwave for 30-40secs for a quick, nutritious and heart-warming breakfast! Great with a cup of coffee, and makes you want to get up in the morning!
Recipe (12 muffins)
Ingredients:
250g self raising flour
1tsp baking powder
2tsp cinnamon powder
100g caster sugar2 eggs
125ml semi-skimmed milk
4tbsp sunflower oil
2 apples, peeled and chopped
handful of walnuts and branflakes for topping (optional)
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180degrees and line a muffin tray with muffin cases or use silicon cases.
Mix the dry ingredients, and dry ingredients separately, except for the walnuts and branflakes. Combine together and mix roughly. Do not overmix as this will encourage gluten to form and make the muffins tough and elastic! Fill the muffin cases to about 2/3 and top with the walnuts and branflakes. Bake for 25mins until golden brown and risen. Enjoy whilst warm or let it cool completely and freeze. This will keep for 2-3 days, if not frozen.
