Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Wednesday, February 12, 2014
It is apple season and I am lucky enough to have a neighbour with an apple tree and a generous nature! I thought that this week I would make some kind of Apple Muffin. These dont look particularly inspiring, but they are very tasty, not too sweet and if you heat one for 20 seconds in the microwave it definitely improves the eating.
Still plenty of apples left, so I might try another apple muffin recipe next week.

I was quite surprised when I checked my 500 Best Muffin Recipes book (Esther Brody) to find that this recipe doesnt use melted butter or oil, but the butter is rubbed in.
2 cups (500ml) all-purpose (plain) flour
1/2 cup (125ml) granulated sugar
3tsp (15ml) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2ml)cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2ml) salt
1/2 cup (125ml) butter or margarine
1 large apple, peeled and diced
1/4 cup (50ml) finely chopped walnuts
1 egg
1tsp (5ml) cinnamon
1tbsp (15ml) brown sugar
Preheat the oven to 435F/220C
12 cup muffin tin
1. In a bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives cut in butter. Measure out 1/4 cup (50ml) mixture; reserve for topping. Add apple and walnuts to remaining flour mixture.
2. In a bowl beat egg. Add milk, blend well. Add to flour mixture, stir just until blended (batter should be lumpy).
3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin,filling two-thirds full. Add cinnamon and brown sugar to reserved topping mixture; sprinkle over batter. bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Still plenty of apples left, so I might try another apple muffin recipe next week.
Chilli Cheese and Bacon Muffins
Thursday, January 30, 2014
Its time for the Sweet Heat Bloggers Challenge at Vanilla Clouds and Lemon Drops. Each month there is a different challenge involving the hot stuff. Here is what Lyndsay says about this months challenge:
"So since this month is the Super Bowl and the start of the 6 Nations Rugby Tournament (and of course the continuance of hockey and football (or soccer!) season!) I decided the theme for this months Sweet Heat challenge is.....(cue cheer leading squad!)..... Game Food! That means anything you fancy eating whilst watching a big game will work as long as it is spicy!"
I really struggled with this one, as we are not a family who eat while watching TV, let alone while watching sport, we just dont watch sport! However, I had half a pack of streaky bacon left over from a previous recipe, so came up with the idea of making some savoury muffins. We ate them with soup, but they would be ideal for snacking on if you were inclined to watch a big game on TV or even live as part of a picnic.
Chilli Cheese and Bacon Muffins
makes 12 muffins
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup veg oil
1 large egg
2 tbsp chilli sauce or relish (I used Maggi Chilli Sauce)
2 cups of plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
50g grated cheddar or other hard cheese
100g streaky bacon, cooked till crisp and crumbled or chopped into small pieces
1. Heat the oven to 200C. Line the muffin tin with paper cases.
2. Measure the chilli sauce or relish, milk, oil and egg into a bowl and whisk until mixed, add the flour, baking powder, salt, cheese and bacon pieces and stir until the flour is just mixed, the mix shoudl still be lumpy.
3. Divide evenly between the cases.
4. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown. When baked remove to a wire tray to cool.
These muffins keep very well and can be revived by reheating for 20 seconds in the microwave. The chilli heat was kind of sneaked up on you just when you thought it was a plain cheese and bacon muffin. If you wanted more heat, just add more sauce and reduce the milk slightly.
