Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 240 ml Skimmed milk
- 80 ml Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon Coconut oil melted
- 120 g Plain flour
- 120 g Oats
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 100 g Dried cranberries
- 75 g Pecans chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6. Line a twelve hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
- Whisk 1 Egg in a large mixing bowl. Then mix in 240 ml Skimmed milk, 80 ml Maple syrup, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract and 2 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted).
- Add 120 g Plain flour, 120 g Oats, 1 tablespoon Baking powder and 1 pinch Sea salt. Mix it into the wet ingredients.
- Add 100 g Dried cranberries, 75 g Pecans (chopped) and 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon. Fold everything into the batter.
- Divide the muffin batter between the cases.
- Put the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- Don’t over-mix the batter - this keeps the muffins light and fluffy.
- Melt the coconut oil gently and allow it to cool slightly before mixing.
- If your dried cranberries are very firm, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes and drain well.
- For a bakery finish, sprinkle a few extra oats or chopped pecans on top before baking.
