Bran, Sultana and Apple Muffins

My children spend most of their time asking for 'a treat', I'm not entirely sure they know what the word means, although they certainly seem to know what it isn't, they won't be palmed off with a banana for example!  These muffins are relatively guilt-free as they are low in fat and high in fibre, delicious with it though.


Makes 12 Muffins
Ingredients
225g Wholemeal Self Raising Flour
50g Fine Wheat Bran
200g Light Brown Sugar
a pinch of Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
1 teaspoon Ground Allspice or Cinnamon (optional)
100g Sultanas
100ml Natural Yoghurt
100ml Milk
50ml Sunflower or Vegetable Oil
2 Large Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 Eating Apples, grated
  • Preheat the oven to 200C (fan) and line a muffin tin with cases.
  • Put the sultanas into a small bowl and cover with just boiled water from the kettle.
  • In a mixing bowl mix all the dry ingredients together.
  • In a measuring jug, measure the natural yoghurt, the milk then the oil.  Add the eggs and the vanilla extract then mix it all together with a fork.
  • Drain the raisins then toss them into the flour bowl quickly turning them over until they are covered with flour.  
  • Pour the jug of wet ingredients into the dry bowl then quickly mix to combine, adding the grated apple as you stir.  When the mixture is just combined spoon into the cases leaving about 1cm at the top.  You can then sprinkle the top with more brown sugar if you want a crackly top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
