Instructions

Stay Awake

(Stops screen from sleeping)

Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a 12-hole (1/3-cup capacity) muffin tin with oil, or line with paper muffin cases greased with oil.
In a blender, place all ingredients in the above order. Process using the pulse action for 1–2 minutes, or until mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to give the mixture a stir to move the ingredients around.
Pour mixture into prepared muffin tin. Lightly press toppings of your choice into each muffin (see topping ideas below).
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then remove from muffin tin and cool completely on a wire rack.

Variations

Make it vegan: Use a vegan yoghurt, maple syrup instead of honey, and swap eggs for 2 tablespoons ground linseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water.

Make it low FODMAP: Use lactose-free yoghurt and gluten-free self-raising flour, and maple syrup instead of honey.
