2tablespoonhoneyor maple syrup
2eggs
2tablespoonmilkdairy or non dairy
½teaspoonground cinnamonoptional
150gblackberries, fresh or frozenhalved if very large
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (160 fan)
Add the oats to the bowl of a food processor and blitz until fine but not totally powdery.
Add the baking powder, honey, olive oil, eggs, milk and cinnamon. Pulse until well mixed. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more milk. The mixture should be stiff but spoonable.
Stir in the blackberries gently with a spoon.
Place the muffin cases in the tin. Divide the mixture equally between the cases and smooth the tops.
Bake for 20 minutes until golden and set. If you are using frozen blackberries, cook the muffins for an extra 5 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, remove the muffins from the baking tin and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
If you want to mix the muffins by hand, use instant oats which have a finer texture. Whisk the eggs, honey, oil and milk. Mix in the oats, cinnamon and baking powder. Gently stir in the blackberries.You can also make the mixture with a blender, but do not over blend so that you lose all the texture of the oats.
