School Morning Muffins

Hello Tuesday! Sorry to say but you are and always have been my least favourite day of the week, ever since my Mum worked Tuesday nights when I was a kid. But really, you don't have the fresh hope of Monday but you're still at the beginning of the week. Thankfully you're almost over.

Today marked one whole school week back i.e. 5 days of H being back at preschool in the mornings, and to mark the occasion I tried to get my life organised - I'm just recovering from a week long cold so was embracing that post sickness feeling of motivation. I achieved a few things. I paid a speeding fine that's been sitting on my dresser for too long, caught up on washing, started packing for a camping weekend away (more on that later!) and baked these muffins I saw over on Fat Mum Slim.

I used dates as my dried fruit and they turned out super delicious (though doesn't anything with dates?), still I'd love to try them with a few different fruit combos. With only 2TBSP of raw sugar plus the fruit, they're perfect for the littlies.

Recipe

1 cup plain flour
1 cup wholemeal flour
3tsp baking powder
2TBSP raw sugar
1 cup dried fruit
125g butter, melted
1 egg
1 cup milk

Method

1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees
2) Blitz fruit with egg, butter and milk in food processor (I used a stick mixer)
3) Add dry ingredients and mix until combined
4) Place in cupcake patties and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through (I baked 20 minutes)

Enjoy!
