Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Wrap each muffin individually and freeze, ready to pop in a lunch box as a treat. Add some dried fruit or replace the fresh or canned fruit with choc chips for some variety. For a savoury muffin, leave out the sugar and vanilla, add ½ teaspoon salt and some finely diced or grated vegetables (e.g. carrots, red peppers or baby marrows), and add a sprinkle of mixed herbs for some more flavour.
