Vanilla Yoghurt Muffins

Introduction

This recipe is absolutely PERFECT for the times when we want to avoid the ordinary muffin/cupcake batter-butter, sugar, flour and a couple of eggs. Despite the fact that it has more ingredients than the standard muffin recipe, it certainly tastes better! What I love so much about this recipe is the comforting, light and scrummy taste that the yoghurt adds to the recipe!

Preheat your oven to 180°C/160ºC fan oven/gas mark 4.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sunflower oil, yogurt, vanilla and sugar until pale, light and pale-yellow in colour.

In a separate mixing bowl, sieve the flour as well as the salt.

Slowly (and gently!) stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a wooden spoon and then mix until a smooth, rather wet mixture is formed. It should be a very pale yellow in colour and should easily run off the wooden spoon when lifted.

Spoon the mixture into equal portions inside a greased muffin tin/cake tin and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes until golden and springy when touched or when a skewer comes out clean when inserted inside the middle of the cake.

Leave to cool before either decorating with icing of your choice/ strawberry jam and cream or even some good old lemon curd!

Enjoy-go on, have another!
