I love this breakfast muffin recipe with apples, banana, cinnamon and oats. The smell of warm cinnamon, apple and banana wafted through my kitchen as these muffins baked. Splitting a golden brown muffin in two straight from the oven revealed a fluffy moist crumb, while hints of apricot and earl grey reached my nose.

I love this breakfast muffin recipe with apples, banana, cinnamon and oats. The smell of warm cinnamon, apple and banana wafted through my kitchen as these muffins baked. Splitting a golden brown muffin in two straight from the oven revealed a fluffy moist crumb, while hints of apricot and earl grey reached my nose. A lick of butter, a glass of orange juice and your breakfast is complete. Feel free to substitute your favourite fruits for a different flavour combination.

BREAKFAST MUFFINS

Makes: 12 regular muffins        Difficulty: Easy

EQUIPMENT:

12-hole muffin tray

INGREDIENTS:

300g Plain Flour

200g Caster Sugar

125ml Vegetable Oil

100ml Milk

1 Teabag (I used earl grey)

2 large Eggs

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

20g Rolled Oats, extra for the topping

½ teaspoon Cinnamon Powder

1 Apple, grated

1 medium Banana, peeled and mashed

65g Dried Apricots, chopped

50g Dried Dates, pitted and chopped

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (160 fan-forced; 350F0. Grease a 12-hole muffin tin with non-stick spray. Set your kitchen timer for 20 minutes.

Pour the milk into a mug. Heat in the microwave for one minute. Cut open the teabag and pour the leaves into the warm milk. Stir. Allow infusing for 5 minutes.

In a medium bowl add the oil, sugar and eggs. Whisk the ingredients together. Stir in the mashed banana and cinnamon powder. Pour in the milk and tea leaf mixture.

In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, oats, apple, dried apricots and dried dates. Mix them together until evenly distributed. Make space in the middle of the bowl. Pour the wet ingredients in.

Gently fold together the wet and dry ingredients until they are just combined. Do not overmix.

Fill each muffin hole with batter. Sprinkle a few more rolled oats on top. Place the tray on the middle rack of the oven. Muffins are done when the tops are golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. If not, add 5 minutes to the timer then check again.

Remove from the oven. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.

Serve muffins warm or cold.

BAKING TIPS:

  • Muffins will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Be careful not to overmix the wet and dry ingredients.
