Banana 'Bread'
Simply add a mashed banana to your Magic Muffin Mix! Or take it a step further and add some chopped nuts as well and bake in a loaf tin as I have done here.
Chocolate and Peanut
Add two tabelspoons dark chocolate chips and two tablespoons of peanut butter for a decadently fudgy treat!
Orange, Ginger and Honey
Replace the milk with the juice of one orange and a tablespoon of honey. Stir in the grated zest of the orange and one tablespoon of finely chopped ginger.
Pear and Almond
Finely chop two pears. Stir into the mix along with flaked almonds and a dash of almond extract.
Carrot 'Cake'
Finely grate one medium carrot and stir into the mix along with one teaspoon mixed spice and a handful of chopped walnuts.
Frosting
Make a delicious wholefood frosting for your muffins by soaking one cup raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours. Blend with two medjool dates, the zest and juice of one lemon and enough water to reach the consistency you prefer. For a sweeter frosting, add another date or two.
Blueberry Muffins
Throw in a handful of blueberries and the juice and zest of one lemon.
Christmas Muffins
Add a teaspoon mixed spice along with two tablespoons mixed peel and the juice and zest of one orange. You could even go wild and add a splash of brandy!
Courgette and Lemon
Finely grate one medium courgette and add to the mix along with the zest of one lemon and two tablespoons of sugar or maple syrup.
Chocolate and Raspberry
Stir one tablespoon good quality cocoa powder into the mix along with a handful of fresh raspberries.
Just want your muffins a little sweeter?
Three tablespoons (24g) of sugar, honey or syrup or one medium mashed banana added to the full packet will mean that each muffin delivers half a teaspoon of added sugar.
Or an extra nutritional boost?
Add any combination of chopped nuts and/or seeds such as pumpkin, sunflower, or chia seeds to increase fibre and healthy fats.
