Hello everyone, I hope you are well? I haven't been posting much lately because we are rather busy getting ready for our trip to Cape Town - packing, preparing and arranging things for our new baby! Only four more sleeps left which is a bit daunting, but certainly very exciting!
I decided to enter my dear friend's fortnightly baking challenge again. Her current theme is 'Muffins'. She is also offering a prize, so please hop over to her blog and see if you can take part! You can enter via email, too if you don't have a blog. My entry is 'Apple, Date and Spice Muffins' which I made for our morning snack the other day.
The Recipe...
Makes about: 6 muffins.
Baking time: 15-20 minutes
half a cup wholewheat flour
half a teaspoon baking powder
half a cup white self-raising flour
half a teaspoon ground all-spice
1 third of a cup soft, brown sugar
1 quarter of a cup chopped prunes or dates
80 g butter, soft
1 egg, lightly beaten
140 g apple puree (you can steam and mash your own)
1.Preheat oven to moderate 180 deg. Grease muffin pan with butter and sprinkle with flour.
2.Sift flours and spice into a medium mixing bowl. Add sugar and chopped prunes or dates.
3.Make a hole in the centre. Add combined butter, apple and egg. Stir until mixture is smooth, but do not overbeat.
4.Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Serve muffins warm or cold. Store in an airtight container for up to two days (ours don't last that long!)
Tip:
Do not over- beat muffins or they will be tough. Stir until just combined.
We always double our recipe at least, as one is definately not enough!
The Result...
Blessings,
Kelly-Anne

Hi My drear friend,
These muffins looks delicious!! They must have tasted really good too. If we don’t lock up our muffins/cookies they also don’t last longer than 2 days!
Thank you so much for entering my baking fun challenge.
Only 4 sleeps to go, lots of love
