Spiced Apple Muffins - Recipes - Hairy Bikers

Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Line a muffin tray or fairy cake tins with paper cases or spray the tins with cake-release spray. Put the flour into a bowl with the baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and spices, then whisk thoroughly to combine. Put the milk, yoghurt, oil, sugar and eggs in a separate, larger bowl and whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture and most of the apples and oats to the wet ingredients, stirring briefly to combine. Try to keep stirring to a minimum as over-working the batter can give a tough result. Divide the mixture between the cases – you will find the mixture will come almost to the top of them. Sprinkle over the remaining apple and oats. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until well risen, golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove the cakes from the oven and place them on a rack to cool.
