Advantages: Delicious, moist, hidden source of bran and fruit.

Disadvantages: None for me!

Breakfast Muffins - makes 12.

Ingredients:

100g butter.
225g brown sugar.
1 egg.
2 bananas.
150g pot of natural yoghurt.
225g plain flour.
2 teaspoons baking powder.
50g bran flakes.
2-3 tablespoons of milk.


Method:

1. Soften the butter (I tend to microwave mine for for a few seconds). Add the butter to a large mixing bowl, then add the sugar and mix by hand (or should I say spoon!).

2. Beat the egg, then add this to the butter/sugar mix.

3. Peel and mash the bananas, before adding this to the mixture. Then add the natural yoghurt.

4. Sieve the flour and baking powder into the mixture, and give it a good stir.

5. Lightly crush the branflakes prior to adding these to the mixture.

6. Gradually add the milk, with the aim of making a soft/wet consistency.

7. Get a 12 batch muffin tray and either fill with muffin cases, or if you don't have any you can lightly grease the tray with olive oil/other substitute.

8. Split the mixture into 12 equal amounts by spooning it into the tray/muffin cases.

9. Set the oven at 190 degrees or 180 degrees for fan assisted. Bake for 25 mins standard oven/20 mins fan assisted, or until golden brown.

Once baked, leave to cool for a while before removing them from the tray.

These muffins are delicious. Initially the thought of bran flakes in a muffin put me off, but they really add flavour / texture to them. Also it's a sneaky way of getting the kids to eat more bran!

Summary: Ideal for a slightly healthier type of muffin.
