These are a treat for my good friends who were spending the evening with tonight!
I am on weight watchers and i've walked past the box about 100 times and resisted .... but then i gave in ... after about an hour i gave up on feeling guilty and worked out the points to see quite how naughty i'd been ...
turns out not so bad ... only 4.5 ww points per muffin !! lol so i'll just have to eat less later !! and not enjoy another muffin!
heres the recipe so you can try these muffins ... they're really light and fluffy .. and fresh strawbs make them taste like summer !! these would be a great easy dessert for a bbq ... i think served with a big helping of coconut ice-cream (i mean vanilla would be fine but coconut is summery too!!)
Ingredients:
2.5 cups of SR Flour/ 375g
90g cold butter, chopped
1 cup caster sugar/ 220g
3/4 cup milk ( i use 1% milk)
1/2 cup low fat natural yog
1 egg beaten lightly
200g of berries - fresh or frozen ... i used half fresh strawberries and half frozen mixed berries
It's really easy to do ....
* preheat oven to 180 degrees, and grease your muffin tin
* sift flour into large bowl (if you dont have a sieve, use a whisk after you've put your flour in the bowl ... give it a quick whiz round ... this has the same effect - thanks to hugh at river cottage for that advise)
*rub in the butter
*stir in sugar, milk, yoghurt, and egg
*the mixture will look a bit lumpy (see pic above)
*add the berries and mix them in lightly
* spoon mixture into tray
*bake for about 20 mins
*cool on a wire tray
