View all comments (7)Yet another inspirational recipe, love the idea of basis batter always at hand to use with an infinite variation of fresh and/or store cupboard goodies. Thank you so, soooo much!!!
This worked really well with blueberries, and it's easy to make the night before then pop in the oven for breakfast. Yummy!
Excellent! I added bananas, and everyone loved them.
I just rated this 3 stars by mistake, it deserves 5! I made the muffins with blueberries and they were delicious, even days after making the batter
I found the 3tsp of Bicarbonate gave the muffins an unpleasant after taste. Making them with SRF and no raising agents works just as well. Brilliant recipe to make a quick fresh batch in the morning.
made these this morning they were fantastic. I didn't have enough dates so used cranberries and dried cherries to make up the weight which worked really well. super !
These are soem ogf the best muffins I've ever made. I brought some into work and have heard nothing but requests for more of them since! I loved the fact you can keep the mixture in the fridge and bake a fresh batch in the morning while you're in the shower!!
