Frugal Quarantine Muffins
You know what I love about making muffins? They are a great way of using up what needs to be eaten in the fridge. I love that you can make savoury or sweet muffins – and that everything tastes better when it is cooked in a muffin. Plus my boys will eat muffins – even with green things like vegetables in them!
So there is the basic recipe below, then you add one cup of whatever you like. I’ve made a few suggestions below if you get stuck for ideas:
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (or 180 for a fan forced oven)
-
Sift the flour into a bowl.
-
In a separate jug, mix together the milk, melted butter and the egg.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients plus the one cup of whatever you choose.
-
Fold the ingredients together.
-
Spoon into a 12-hole muffin tin (lined with muffin casings)
-
Bake for 15 - 17 minutes or until risen and golden.
-
Enjoy!
