Makes: 12
Preparation: 15 min
Cooking: 25-30 min
Skill: Easy
Ingredients
6-8 plums, stones removed, plums cut into bite sized pieces.
1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ cup desiccated coconut
1 cup brown sugar
¾ cup medium oats
1 tsp mixed spice
2 eggs
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup olive oil
1 cup natural yoghurt
Method
Preheat the oven 180degC
Line 12 muffin tins with patty papers or grease well with oil and dust with a little flour.
Toss the diced plums with the honey or syrup and set aside.
In a mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, coconut, sugar, oats and spice, whisk together to combine.
In another bowl mix the eggs, vanilla, oil and yoghurt.
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry.
Stir to combine. Do not overmix. This is very important or your muffins will be tough and burst at the top.
Spoon into the muffin tins and bake until golden and risen and the centre is firm to the touch. About 25-30 minutes.
Cool before removing from the tins.
