It's muffins at dawn between Franny and Kami...
"I do healthy muffins too, both my two (3yo and 8mo) love 'em...
Basic recipe
- 2 cups plain flour with 8 tsp baking powder [1 cup plain flour, 1 cup
wholemeal flour] - or self raising flour, perhaps with a little baking
powder
- 1 cup oats (whole or oatmeal)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter [mild olive oil]
- 1/4-1/2 cup sugar [honey]
- 2 eggs
With a spoon or blender, mix the wet stuff, then add the dry stuff (I sift
the flour in with a sieve) and mix again. Bake for 20-25 min (test at 20).
Makes 12 big muffins.
The recipe can be halved to make 12 small 'cupcakes'. On it's own, the
recipe isn't very sweet, so I always add loads (4+) of big overripe bananas,
roughly mashed or blended - also makes a yummy banana bread in a loaf tin
(around 45 min). I also replace a little milk with creme fraiche for banana
bread. The bananas make the texture nice and moist, like a pudding. Then do
what you want with fruit, e.g. blueberries, apples, chopped dates, grated
carrot, ground nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla - anything you can think of!
The other day I replaced some of the olive oil with peanut butter, but not
for babies obviously. I think the honey is OK for babies because it is
baked at a high enough temperature to kill any bacteria (but just use sugar
if you'd rather. Sugar in the form of fructose, so lower GI, is available
at Sainsburys)."

Tried these today and they went down a treat with me at least! I used maple syrup instead of honey as I didn't have enough honey, used the banana and halved the recipe. It made 16 cupcakes.

Mmm made these again for adults. I know it goes completely against the spirit of the original recipe, but it is a really good basic mix. Made the full quantity and added an inappropriately gifted chocolate buttons easter egg . Made two 2lb Banana and Chocolate loaves and took 50-55 minutes. It made a much better loaf than cupcakes, and I haven't tried muffins yet.

We did this as a loaf today and it took the whole 55 minutes (with me taking it out & poking it every 5 minutes from the half hour mark onwards). It was actually ridiculously simple.
It entertained several Mum/Baby partnerships in our garden this afternoon and made me look like Super-Domestic-Goddess-Mum. Hurrah! I think I'd stick a bit more flavourings in it (I went easy on the cinnamon - it could use perhaps 2 tsps) and I'm longing to do an adult only version with walnuts. This could become a staple part of the repertoire. Re: Re: Kami's Rival Virtuous Muffins
