Winter Warmers: Mini Cranberry and White Chocolate Muffins


I saw these delicious muffins on BBC Food and because they looked so precious I had to try them out. i must say at first I was very skeptical about the recipe and the ingredients. I was still worrying about the turn out until I ate one, they were definitely worth a try.

Ingredients:
  • 200g Sifted Self-Raising Flour
  • 100g Golden Caster Sugar 
  • 100ml Sunflower Oil
  • 75ml Milk
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 100g White Chocolate
  • 50g Fresh Cranberries
Method: 
Step One: Preheat the oven to 190°C(375°F/Gas Mark 5) 

Step Two: Stir flour and sugar together in a large mixing bowl and make a hole in the middle. Whisk the Sunflower oil, milk and egg in a cup or small bowl and add into the centre of the flour and sugar. Mix together until a sort of doughy texture. 


Step Three: Split mixture in two bowls(optional), add broken up white chocolate to both and cranberries to only one bowl. If you didn't split the mixture just add all the cranberries and chocolate to your big mixing bowl. 


Step Four: Bake for 10-15 minutes. When cool decorate with White icing (Water and Icing Sugar--Make it quite thick and opaque) and red and green (royal or decorative) icing. 




Hope you enjoy this cute Christmas recipe, I know I did--They were delicious! Don't forget to put them in a tin as soon as they have cooled otherwise they will go stale very quickly.
