I started baking these four years ago, when I was eleven and completely new to baking. My mum gave me the recipe so that I could learn the basics of baking and how food works. Now, I'm the go-to one in the house for birthday cakes and shared lunch bakes. These muffins are really easy, and easy to make with complete beginners.

Steps

10min, 20min

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced (392°F or Gas Mark 6)
2

Combine all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl and mix until combined.
3

Mix all wet ingredients separately in another bowl until mostly mixed.
4

Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix thoroughly, but not so much as to end up with tough muffins. A few floury areas are fine! The mixture should be neither wet or the consistency of play-dough.
5

Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases and scoop the mixture into each case. Personally, I use an ice cream scoop, as a heaped scoopful is perfect for one muffin.
6

Put the muffins in the oven for 15-20 minutes, checking them about 5 minutes before they're due to come out.
7

Now, you can ice your muffins or serve them as they are. Guaranteed to be delicious every time, and a favourite with kids and adults alike.
