Muesli muffins

Despite being the owner of numerous cookbooks, even one dedicated to muffins,  I googled 'breakfast muffins' in search of a recipe and found the following one at Taste.com: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/13907/breakfast+museli+muffins

Of course I tweaked the recipe (as I always do), but the result was a quite wholesome substantial muffin that could be a replacement breakfast on the run.

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1/4 cup light olive oil

2 tbs honey

2 cups muesli (I used half bircher muesli mix and half cereal mix)

1/2 cup of sultanas

1/2 cup chopped nuts eg pecans, walnuts

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1/2 tsp bicarb soda

1tsp baking powder

1 orange

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C or 180 for fan forced. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper cases.

2. Whisk eggs, milk, oil and honey together. Combine muesli, flour, dried fruit, nuts,soda and baking powder in a bowl. Finely grate orange rind into dry ingredients. Juice orange and add 1/2 cup of the juice to egg mixture.

3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix together quickly using a wooden spoon until just combined. Mixture may be lumpy and does not have to be evenly mixed.

4. Spoon mixture into paper cases. Bake for 20 mins or until golden and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
