bila dah cukup bahan, badan pulak kepenatan
malam ni usahakan jugak2..

tapi.. setelah selesai godek & mix everything
baru sedar. eh! muffins ni takdak butter atau minyak!

the recipe below makes 24muffins or less.

• Olive Oil or Canola spray
• 2 cups Wholemeal self raising flour

1. Preheat oven to 170˚C.
2. Lightly spray muffin trays with oil.
3. Sift flours, returning husk from wholemeal flour to the bowl, add brown sugar.
4. In a separate bowl mix eggs, yoghurt and juice. Combine with the flour mix and fold through fruit and milk (you may need less milk depending on moisture in fruit).
5. Do not over-mix. Spoon mixture into trays.
6. Bake near the top of the oven for 18-20 minutes.
7. Turn onto a wire rack to cool.

variations:

Any unsweetened fruit juice maybe used.

Use apples, blueberries or other firm fruit to vary the flavour.
Make 12 muffins and 1 loaf, by spooning half the mixture into a greased loaf tin.
Bake the loaf in the middle of the oven for 35 minutes, or until firm and golden brown.
Bake near the top of the oven for 18-20 minutes.
