Berrylicious Muffins

After body combat class last Sunday i stopped by the pasar malam to stock up on my veges and fruits. And guess what i bought?















Strawberries!

It was really cheap so i decided to buy 3 packs thinking i could make them into muffins. I rushed home, flipped through my Nigella cook book (thanks Mel!!) and could not find anything! Apparently our dear miss Nigella doesn't make Strawberry Muffins! Thank god for the Internet!

I found a really easy recipe here

Note: I didn't have ground nutmeg ( i don't even know what nutmeg is!) so i used cinnamon instead. And i also added a mashed banana, which i think helped make it so moist. The batter was more runnier than other muffin batters i've mixed in the past and it took about 25 minutes for mine to cook.

To make this healthier you can opt to use 1 cup wholemeal flour, lessen the amount of sugar you sprinkle on the strawberries and just add more fruit. I also think adding walnuts into these babies would make it taste even better.


Now the people closest to me at my previous job would know that i hardly eat the things i bake, but this mind you was far too good to say no to. The muffins turned out soft and moist and tasted just right.

Do give this a try, i promise you'd enjoy it.

Happy baking
xoxo

  2. Usually, the muffins that i try are a bit dry and more cake like texture. This one turned out to be the complete opposite of it. It was so moist, you could see it glistening on the top. One bite, and i couldnt tell it if were a muffin.
