Shopping LIST:

2 apples, 150g wholemeal flour + 2 tbsp. extra, 150g rolled oats, 100g raisins, 2 tsps. baking powder, 1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda, 3 tsps. of ground cinnamon, ¼ grated nutmeg, a good pinch of sea salt, 2 eggs, 120ml maple syrup, 80ml whole milk, 120g Greek style yogurt (2%fat); 6-hole muffin pan, greased.

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.

• Peel, core and dice 1 apple. Add it in a small saucepan with 4 tablespoons water. Bring to the boil, then simmer until completely soft. Mash the apple with a fork and set it aside to cool.

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, raisins, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add the eggs, yogurt, mashed apple, maple syrup and the apple (peeled, cored and chopped). Mix together.

• Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25minutes. A skewer should come out pretty much clean, but if comes out with a bit of the muffin mixture on the skewer is OK, as it will continue to cook a little while cooling.

• While muffins are still hot, in a small bowl, combine 2 tsps. of caster sugar with ½ juice of a lemon. Using a brush, spread the syrup on each muffin and let it cool for 5 minutes.

• Serve the apple and raisin muffins warm with Greek Yogurt style and maple syrup or jam (of your choice).  A perfect idea for your next breakfast time.
