Now these are terribly basic, but don't let the ingredients fool you - they are not by any means bland or boring. I made these quickly BEFORE school shortly before the school holidays as I ran out of my pick and mix a little earlier than I expected. They are truly so simple you'll be trying them and experimenting with your own variations!
Some variations I try instead of currants:
- Frozen raspberries
- Cut up pear or apple
- Mashed banana
Alternatives to honey:
- Golden syrup
- Maple syrup
You can also make them with gluten free flour, sometimes I substitute a few tablespoons of bran or crushed wheat-bix for the flour.
So my friends, if you haven't had enough cooking for school lunches/snacks already after yesterday's 30 recipes I gave you - have a go at these!
Ingredients
(makes 20)
2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
1/2 cup rice milk (use regular if no dairy allergies/intolerances)
1/4 cup currants
Method:
Preheat oven to 190 degrees c
Mix all in in a bowl with electric beaters/mixer mix until smooth (2-3 minutes tops)
Pour into cupcake/muffin papers or greased muffin pan about 3/4 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on top and baked through.
and tomorrow is the launch of new competition for the 'little chefs' out there. to celebrate the upcoming 1,000th post!

I have a bunch of too-ripe bananas on my bench waiting to be used, so this is perfect timing :)
Question though - I don't think these muffins can be 'dairy free' with milk in them! Unless you use soy in its place, I suppose :D
Whoops! I knew I missed something late last night! I used rice milk, but you can use regular ;)
LOL! Or rice milk. Or even breast milk! (Not that we have any of that left in this place).
Oh, am just writing the ingredients out and am about to bake!
I'll be baking these this afternoon. Just cleaned out the freezer and have a few black bananas that could be used to fertilise the rose bushes - or make muffins - muffins win!
Liss thank you thank you - I Christen these the Miracle Muffins - NO butter and only 2 WW points each! I made a half batch with frozen berries and maple syrup and it made 7 big'uns.
