It is Breakfast Week this week which I will blog about separately, that has prompted me to blog our versatile Blueberry Breakfast Muffins which are not only great for an on the go breakfast, they are fab for an after school or afternoon tea snack too.
I used frozen blueberries this time but you could use diced apple or pear, dried fruit or other frozen berries such as raspberries or a mixture of berries or fruit. These muffins are really quick to make and bake, perfect for busy mornings or a speedy afternoon snack option.
Versatile Fruity Breakfast Muffins
1 cup wholemeal flour
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups prepared fruit, I used frozen blueberries
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups buttermilk
1 medium free range egg
2 Tblsp golden syrup or honey
Topping, combine the following:
3 Tblsp mixed seeds
2 Tblsp demerara sugar
¼ cup rolled oats
Preheat your oven to 200C and line a the holes of a 12 hole muffin
tray with paper cases.
Put all of the dry ingredients, along with the fruit, into a large bowl and mix until
combined. Measure all of the liquid
ingredients into a large jug and mix until combined. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry
ingredients and fold through until completely combined. Be careful not to over-mix or beat the
mixture or you will end up with heavy and tough muffins.
Fill the muffin cases 3/4 full then sprinkle over the
topping.
Bake the muffins at 200C for 20 to 25 minutes or until the muffins
spring back when lightly touched in the centre.
Leave in the tray for 5 minutes to cool before transferring the muffins
to a wire rack to cool completely.
Since these Breakfast Muffins are fairly healthy I'm sending them to Calendar Cakes which is run by Laura with Rachel from Dolly Bakes – the theme for this month is "New Year New You!"
I am also submitting them Breakfast Club this month which has a theme of cooked and baked and is being hosted by Janice.
Breakfast Club has a brilliant Blog Hop which you can follow here:
They look really delicious, lovely seedy topping too. Thanks for joining in with Breakfast Club and enjoy National Farmhouse Breakfast Week.
