Here is a little,fruity recipe I prepare a lot in our house.I’ve been appreciating it even more during the last few nippy days. (Hello Summer!Where are you?). This crumble is easy and effortless and the trick is that you can use any ingredients you like!You can swap peaches and raspberries for any of your favourite fruit and mix together nuts and seeds you enjoy the most into this crumble.

And the best is still to come…..you can eat it for breakfast!Happy days!And who doesn’t like a good pudding in the morning?

The best muffins ever!

Posted on by Bea

No kidding!These are the best muffins EVER!I mean like EVER!I’ve baked them millions of times,worked on every single detail and now I’m bursting with pride every time I make them 🙂 THEY ARE JUST PERFECT!

The secret is the batter and once you make the perfect batter,the world of limitless muffin varieties opens 🙂 Sweet or savoury,plain or chocolate,fruity,nutty,filled with jam,cream or caramel.Wherever your imagination will take you….Perfect muffins need nothing more than fine flour,room temperature(good quality)ingredients,and not over stirring the batter.They simply don’t like too much attention.

RECIPE:

for 10 muffins

INGREDIENTS:

FOR BATTER:
300 g self raising flour(preferably self rising fine sponge flour)
250 ml natural yogurt(room temperature)
100 g natural,unrefined cane sugar
2  eggs(room temperature)
125 g butter,melted and cooled
0,5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of ground nutmeg
1 medium apple,cored,peeled and chopped

FOR CRUMBLE:
100g plain flour
50g butter,cold and cut into smaller pieces
3 tablespoons of natural,unrefined cane sugar

ADDITIONALLY:
200g caramel (dulce de leche)

METHOD:

1.Preheat the oven to 190C.
2.Do the crumble first.Sieve the flour into a medium bowl,add sugar and the butter, then rub it into the flour using your fingertips to make a light breadcrumb texture. Do not overwork it or the crumble will become heavy.Place in a fridge.
3.To make the muffins,sieve the flour into a bowl.In a separate bowl place eggs,yogurt,butter and sugar.Add cinnamon and nutmeg and mix all the ingredients until smooth.Then add apple pieces to the mixture and tip it over the flour.Stir with a wooden spoon,the mix should look lumpy and may have the odd fleck of flour still visible but don’t be tempted to over mix the batter.Muffins don’t like too much attention 🙂
4.Place the muffin cases into muffin tray 🙂 and fill each one about 1/2 hight with batter.Place 2 teaspoons of caramel in the middle of each muffin and cover with the rest of the batter.
5.Sprinkle over with crumble and bake for 25-30 minutes.

NOTES: To prevent muffins from sinking,take them out the oven straight away,let them cool down for 5 minutes and then remove from the moulds and place on the rack to cool down.

You might also want to serve them warm,to do this simply put them in preheated oven for couple of minutes.(Just be careful with caramel as too much heat will make it extremely hot!)

WARNING:VERY ADDICTIVE! 🙂
