Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons light olive oil, plus extra for greasing
- 125 g/4½ oz apple purée, such as Ella’s Kitchen Apples Apples Apples
- 125 ml/4½ fl oz whole milk or milk of choice
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons clear honey
- 225 g/9 oz self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 carrot, about 60 g/2¼ oz, finely grated
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease 2 mini muffin tins with oil (or cook one batch at a time)
- Whisk together the oil, apple purée, milk, egg and honey in a jug until thoroughly combined
- Mix the flour with the baking powder and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Stir in the carrot until combined. Pour in the apple purée mixture and mix gently with a wooden spoon until just combined
- Spoon the muffin mixture into the prepared tin(s) and bake for 15 minutes until risen and cooked. To test they are ready, insert a skewer into the middle of a muffin – it should come out clean with no uncooked cake mixture on it. Leave to cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days
