TO SERVE
- 4-6 tbsp extra muesli
Method
- Pre heat the oven to 180°C
- Combine all the wet ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Combine all the dry ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
- Fill your muffin trays with cases, either large or small. If making small you will likely get 12 muffins.
- Fold the wet into the dry and gently stir until fully combined.
- Divide the mix between the muffin cases, sprinkle with extra muesli and place in the pre heated oven for 20-25 mins, checking at about 20 mins with a skewer. If it comes out clean they are ready, if not give them a few more minutes.
- When they are ready remove from the oven and allow to cool in the trays for 5-10 mins before removing. Tuck in and enjoy!
