I have lots of recipes - what kind do you want? Chocolatey? Fruity?

You can use ordinary cake cases & cake mix.

any I made banana and chocolate ones today and they were lovely I like the recipe where you add the dry ingredients to the wet easier for the kids to do

These are amazing:

Muffins

Copyright: Véronique Leplat
Makes 18 muffins

30g very soft unsalted butter
4 tablespoons honey
3 eggs
40ml sunflower oil
1 tablespoon Good Oil (optional)
50ml milk
480g wholemeal flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
large handful of crunched cornflakes
2 teaspoons ground mixed spice
1 apple, grated
zest of ½ lemon
100g blueberries
100g raspberries
2 ripe bananas, squashed

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/Gas Mark 4.

In a large bowl mix together the butter and honey. Add the eggs and beat until smooth, then add the oils.
Put all the remaining ingredients apart from the fruit in another bowl in the order in which they are listed, mixing a little in between additions.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, combining all the time but lightly as possible. The less you beat the flour, the fluffier your muffins will be! Finally, add the fruit and stir through.
Spoon the mixture into paper cups in a muffin tin and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.

Nigella's gingerbread muffins are yummy.

These are good - They are from another MNer, maybe NAB?

Blackberry Muffins

Buttermilk adds a
slight sourness to the muffins, but if you can?t get hold of any, you can
substitute it with a half and half mixture of natural yoghurt and milk.

Blackberry muffins
Makes 12 (or more depending on the size of muffin tin holes)

400g/14oz plain flour
175g/6oz caster sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
finely grated zest of 1 orange
half a teaspoon of salt
284ml/10fl oz carton buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
85g/3oz butter, melted
250g/9oz blackberries

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Grease a 12-hole muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, orange
zest and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter.
  1. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the
buttermilk mixture. Stir until the ingredients are just combined and the mixture is quite stiff, but be careful not to over mix.
  1. Lightly fold in the blackberries, then spoon the mixture into the
tins to fill the holes generously.
  1. Bake for 15-18 minutes until risen and pale golden on top. Leave to
cool in the tin for a few minutes, as the muffins are quite delicate when hot. To turn out, run a palette knife around the edge of the muffins and carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool. Best eaten the same day.

I usually just do a 4, 4, 4, 2 mix and add mashed banana, cocoa or melted chocolate depending on how we feel. Always seem tu turn out well. Happy Baking
