These muffins look naughty but are really a great snack with rice bran oil instead of butter. They contain a good dose of oaty fibre as well as heaps of anti-oxidant rich blueberries.
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ cups self raising flour
1 cup wholegrain oats, whizzed in food processor to a flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup caster sugar
1 ⅓ cups blueberries (frozen is fine)
½ cup rice bran oil
1 egg
1 ¼ cups buttermilk or 50:50 milk:yoghurt
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Topping
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon caster sugar
METHOD
Preheat oven to 180˚C. Line a 6 hole Texas muffin tin or 12 hole regular muffin tin with baking paper.
Place flour, oats, baking powder and caster sugar in to a food processor and whiz to combine. Transfer to a large bowl and stir through blueberries.
Whisk oil, egg and buttermilk together, make a rough well in flour mix and fold the wet mix into dry ingredients.
