Easter muffins

Makes 12
45 minutes
Difficulty Easy
9 Ingredients

Easter muffins are a great alternative to hot cross buns and are great anytime – even after Easter!

Ingredients (makes 12 Muffins)

125 grams Butter (melted)
2 cups Self raising flour
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Mixed spice
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
3/4 cup Milk
2 cups Mixed fruit
2 tablespoons Orange juice

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line muffin tin.
Sift the flour, cinnamon and spice together then stir in the sugar.
In a separate bowl mix together the melted butter, eggs, milk and orange juice.
Add the egg mixture to the bowl with flour, sugar and spices. Mix until just combined.
Gently stir in the mixed fruit.
Spoon mixture into muffin cases and bake for around 20 minutes.
Let cool. You can also add the cross over the top in icing for a more traditional hot cross bun effect.

Notes

I am not great with recipes that contain yeast so this alternative to hot cross buns is a perfect solution!

Made these for Easter and were loved by all who loved fruit in their cakes. Too bad for the others were plenty of other things to eat.

Love your Easter muffins ..well done, they look delicious.
You could even add a cross if you wish, great for the yeast intolerant folk which my hubby is one.
Thanks for sharing.
