ABC muffins recipe for Kids

Serving Size:

12

Ingredients:

• 2 cups self raising flour
• ½ cup almond meal
• ½ cup caster sugar
• ½ cup craisins (dried cranberries)
• 1/3 cup (80mL) olive or vegetable oil
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 small bananas, mashed
• 2 red apples, cored, quartered and finely sliced/ grated
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon caster sugar, extra

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C and place paper cases in muffin tray (12 large or 18 cupcake size).

Sift flour into large bowl, add almond meal, caster sugar and cranberries, mix well. In a glass jug, measure out oil (to 1/3 cup), add milk (to 11/3 cup) and eggs, whisk to combine.

Pour liquid into dry ingredients, add mashed banana and mix until just combined. Spoon mixture into paper cases and press 2-3 slices of apple, skin up, into muffins.

Sprinkle with combined cinnamon and extra caster sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer inserted into the muffin comes out clean.

Notes:

• If you need to hide the apple, peel, grate and add with the banana. Omit the cranberries (or replace with finely grated carrot, another ‘c’!)
• Make these muffins gluten-free using gluten-free plain flour and 4 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder.
