baking the easy way

I love baking muffins, they are so easy.  You just throw everything into a bowl, give it a quick mix, load your muffin cases, bake and 14 mins later you have a fab tray of yummy muffins ready to eat!  I often make them first thing for breakfast they are that fast.

I made these the other afternoon when I had a sweet craving but nothing in the cupboard to satisfy it.

All the ingredients in one bowl

That after a quick mix look like this....

Fresh out of the oven....

...and ready to eat!!

They are fruit muffins made with the only fruit in the house a couple of very ripe nectarines, which to be honest could have done with being a little firmer but still tasted delish :)

here's the recipe:

2 cups (300g) self raising flour

3/4 cup (150g) firmly packed brown sugar

2 nectarines, stone removed, chopped - skin on

1 egg lightly beaten

3/4 (180ml) cup plain yoghurt + milk mix (about 1/2 and 1/2)

1/2 cup (125ml) vegetable oil

Put muffin cases into muffin tin.

Sift dry ingredients into a bowl, stir in other ingredients.

Spoon mixture into muffin tin.  

Bake in moderately hot oven for approx 20mins. (I have an Aga thats why they cook quicker!)

Remove from oven, leave in muffin tin for a few mins to cool a little then either put on cooling rack to finish cooling or eat warm from oven ENJOY.....
