Raspberry Muffins

I can't eat gluten, among other things, at the moment due to a complicated diet. This is why I am struggling with breakfasts. Raspberries were very reduced in the supermarket, but they were getting pretty soft and needed to be used quickly, so I was looking for a muffin recipe, and hopefully a low (-ish) fat one. This one doesn't have any butter, and less sugar than many.

Raspberry oat muffins

200g Doves gluten-free plain flour
40g rolled oats
100g caster sugar
1tsp cinnamon
6tsp baking powder
150ml low fat natural yogurt
2 eggs
2 tbsp vegetable oil
6 tbsp semi skimmed milk
225g fresh raspberries

  1. Mix flour (which can be substituted with regular plain flour), oats, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder.
  2. Lightly beat together the eggs, yogurt, vegetable oil and milk.
  3. Stir into the flour mixture along with the raspberries (don't overmix)
  4. Spoon into 12 muffin cases and bake at 200 degrees for 20 mins

These turned out pretty light, which is difficult with gluten-free flour, and the raspberries sing through. Easy to take to work tomorrow for my early start too!

I made the rest of the raspberries into coulis, by blitzing in the Magimix with a little sugar. This can go with yoghurt and homemade granola (recipe to follow) and be another breakfast. Who needs toast!
