Addie staff in the kitchen: Breakfast muffins

If you.ve got time on your hands at the moment, or want to give the children something to keep them busy, these delicious breakfast muffins are the perfect, healthy, choice.

This recipe is extremely simple to whip up and make a wonderful snack at any time of the day.

Made from a mixture of fresh fruit and wholewheat flour, these muffins will be a fav with children looking for something sweet and moms looking to give them a nutritious snack.

This recipe is taken from Ashleigh Levin’s new cookbook Home Cooked & Heart Warming.

Step 1: Gather your ingredients. Ours were sponsored by SpringsGate Pick n Pay.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 Cups wholewheat flour.
  • 3tsp baking powder.
  • 1/2tsp salt
  • 1/2tsp ground cinnamon (I added 3tsp for good measure).
  • 1/2 Cup desiccated coconut.
  • 1Tbsp flaxseeds
  • 1 Cup seedless raisins.
  • 1 Cup fresh or frozen blueberries (I used frozen mixed berries which worked wonderfully but did leave my mixture pink).
  • 2/3 Cup brown sugar (can be reduced if your bananas are very ripe).

Wet ingredients:

  • 1 Cup full-cream plain yoghurt.
  • 1/2 Cup honey (or to taste depending on how ripe your bananas are or how sweet your blueberries are).
  • 2 Large eggs (if like me you don’t eat eggs you can either add 1/2 a banana for each egg as I did, or 1/4 cup of unsweetened apple sauce for each egg).
  • 1/4 Cup coconut oil.
  • 1/2tsp vanilla essence (or to taste).
  • 1 Cup milk.
  • 1Tbsp smooth peanut butter (I added 3 Tbsp simple because I love the taste with the fruit).

Directions

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a 12-cup muffin tray with grease-proof paper (or use spray and cook).

Step 3: Stir the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
Step 4: Mix all the wet ingredients together in a jug.
Step 5: Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
Step 6: Drop a generous scoop of mixture into each muffin cup.
Step 7: Bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the muffins comes out clean. The recipe says this should take 15 – 20 minutes, however, in my oven it took 45 minutes. The times needed will depend on your oven and whether you use thermofan (cooks quicker than regular convection) or not.
Step 8: Enjoy with your favourite beverage.
