Serves: 12
65g plain flour
60g wholemeal flour (or just use plain flour)
1.5tsp baking powder
½tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tsp cinnamon
150g live natural or Greek yoghurt
75g muscavado or dark soft brown sugar (adjust to your taste)

125g frozen blueberries
15g 15g chia seeds(optional)

These muffins are utterly gorgeous but so much healthier than a shop bought version. So quick to make too. I often quickly knock these up for my cookery workshop participants to enjoy a freshly baked treat on arrival with a coffee. I am always asked for the recipe. Using olive oil and yoghurt give the muffins the lightest texture. The chia seeds add a bit of extra goodness but are entirely optional. I use frozen blueberries as they work just as well and are so much more convenient.
Note: sugar is to taste. I personally go low as I think the berries make them sweet enough.
