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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
