Blueberry-Bran and Dark Chocolate Muffins
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 14 cup demerara sugar
- 12 cup crushed natural bran (all bran, bran flakes etc will do and you can simply smash the cereal in a zip-lcok bag)
- 14 cup oats (or Alpen if you have less blueberries)
- 100 g dark chocolate (or 1 third of a large bar, chopped)
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 12 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 14-12 cup melted butter (cooled) or 14-12 cup margarine (cooled)
- 150 g chopped blueberries
- 1 banana (mashed)
- Mix flour, sugar and oats for a minute before adding your crushed bran and chopped chocolate pieces.
- In another bowl, add the vanilla to your beaten eggs, then stir in the melted butter.
- Mash the banana and add both that and the chopped blueberries (with all their juice!)
- to the egg bowl.
- Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and hand mix for less that a minute - you don't want a perfectly whipped muffin mix).
- Spoon mixture into a greased muffin tin, or into mini-muffin cases (silicone cases are best!)
- and toss into a pre-heated 190C oven for 15 -20 minutes.
- The mixture should yield about 10 large muffins or 15/16 mini-muffins.
- Test them with wooden skewers, if the skewer comes out dry they're done!
