The Manbeast isn't very good at starting his day with breakfast, so I thought I'd make things easy for him but baking up some easy-to-grab muffins. The inspiration came from a box of fantastic oat and treacle biscuits we picked up from Sainsburys - rich, sweet but with enough oaty goodness in it to let it pass as 'healthy'.
These little muffins are stuffed with muesli and moist with olive oil - I wanted to produce a handsized, edible battery for busy mornings.
Muesli Treacle Muffins
makes about 10
Ingredients
200 gm self-raising flour
100 gm muesli
2 tbsp treacle
100 ml olive oil
100 ml milk
2 eggs
For topping
1 tbsp demerara sugar
25 gm muesli
Directions
- Preheat oven to 175c. Mix flour and muesli in a large bowl, then add treacle to mixture.
- In another bowl, milk olive oil, eggs and milk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour/muesli mixture, and stir it all up with a spoon until it's all combined.
-Spoon the batter into muffin cases, sprinkle muesli and sugar on top and pop it into the oven for about 12 - 15 minutes.
-Enjoy! Keep them in airtight containers and they should last for up to 3 days without drying out. These would be sooooo good with some clotted cream too.
i've never once heard of treacle, but that tin in the link is dreamy. i'm concluding that it's sort of molasses-y?
