Fig{de}licious Muffins

This morning I opened the kitchen cupboard and there it was, Pick n Pay Finest Fig Jam! For an early bird I thought well, maybe it might not be such a good idea to start the day with something sweet, but then I thought... wait a minute, let's make another peek-a-boo recipe, a 'surprise' ingredient and that's when recipe popped into my head...Fig Health Muffins. *{See recipe and Easy-to-find Shopping list below}

With winter peeping around every corner, I wanted to have a healthy breakfast to boost my immune system and get some extra fibre into my everyday diet. But...it wouldn't be possible for me to leave out 'something sweet'. So, I came up with a healthy alternative for a grab-and-go breakfast. This peek-a-boo fig jam muffin is perfect. It already has the jam inside the health muffin - perfect for when you are in a rush, having a picnic or surprising your tea-time guests!




*{Ingredients}
100g Stork Bake
250 ml milk
2 eggs
½ cup castor sugar
2 ½ cups Nutty Wheat High Bran Wheat Flour
10ml baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
100g ground almonds
100g desiccated coconut
12 tsp Pick n Pay fig jam / jam of choice
*{Method}
Mix milk, eggs, melted stork bake and castor sugar together.
Add flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into the milk mixture.
Add almonds and coconut. Mix well.
Spoon mixture into a muffin tin to fill half of the muffin hole, place one spoon of a chunky fig jam in the centre of the mixture and cover the fig jam with more mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven at 200*C.
Serving suggestion: Tastes lovely and enhances the cinnamon flavour when served with Chai Tea / Latté.
