Cadbury Fruit & Nut Muffins

The husband loves Cadbury Fruit & Nut but on his birthday he got told he was diabetic. By this time he'd already opened a couple of bars of the chocolate which he just put to one side. He also received some for Christmas a few days later as he hadn't yet shared the news of his diabetes with everyone.

Sooo, 'waste not want not' and all that, I decided to make some muffins for the rest of us to enjoy...

 

Cadbury Fruit & Nut Muffins - makes 12

175g Self Raising flour

120g Cadbury Fruit & Nut, roughly chopped

1 tsp Baking powder

50g Caster sugar

100g mashed banana (1 medium banana)

3 Eggs, beaten

75ml Sunflower oil

150ml Milk

• Mix the flour, chocolate, baking powder & caster sugar together
• Mix the banana, eggs, oil & milk into the dry ingredients - do not over mix, it should be lumpy (I had a momentary lapse of concentration & slightly over-mixed, resulting in some flat topped muffins)
• Divide mixture between muffin cases 
• Bake in a preheated 180 C oven for 18-20 minutes
• Cool on a wire rack

Now, I don't wish to blow my own trumpet but these were good, really good, so good in fact I would go so far as to say they are better than Costa Coffee muffins....if you don't believe me then try them for yourself!
