Apple and Lavender Muffins

  • 4 oz porridge oats
  • 4 oz strong white (bread) flour
  • 2 level tsp dried lavender flowers
  • 4 level tbsp golden granular sugar
  • 2 level tsp baking powder
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 oz butter, melted
  • 2 dessert apples, peeled, cored and chopped
  • 2 fl oz milk

Modus operandi:

  1. Grease a 12-pan muffin tray and preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients together, then add the beaten egg, melted butter and chopped apples. Add 2 fl oz milk, or more if the mixture seems to dry.
  3. Mix roughtly, so the batter is till rather lumpy, then spoon into muffin tins.
  4. Bake 15-20 mins.

Note: If you can't find dried lavender flowers, you can dry fresh ones in the microwave to use - that's what I do!
