Ingredients, Substitutions and Variations

  • Butter – you can use salted or unsalted. Salted will make the muffins taste sweeter.
  • Sugar – caster sugar or light brown sugar is best.
  • Egg – use a medium or large egg.
  • Milk – you can use skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole. You can also use oat milk.
  • Self-raising flour – be sure to use self-raising, not plain flour.
  • Black Forest fruits – use frozen Black Forest fruits for best results.

Top Tips

  1. Don’t overwork Although you need to make sure that all of the ingredients are well combined, don’t overwork the mix – that will make your muffins chewy.
  2. The fruit The fruit is best when cut into chunks no more than 1cm in size. If you use bigger chunks, the muffins may not cook evenly.
  3. Check they’re cooked You can check the Black Forest fruit muffins are cooked by inserting a skewer into the centre of one – if it comes out clean, they are cooked.
