Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 190°C / 170°C / gas mark 5 and grease a mini muffin tin.
  • Whisk the milk, apple sauce, melted butter and eggs together to combine.
  • Whisk the cornmeal, almonds and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir.
  • Drop in the blueberries and stir until they are evenly incorporated into the batter then pour the batter directly into the holes of the muffin tin.
  • Bake for around 12-15 minutes until just going golden. Leave for a few minutes in the tin before removing carefully with a knife or baby spatula.

Notes

  • The eggs used in this recipe are medium size, 60g with shell and 50g without shell. If you can't get hold of medium eggs I suggest you weigh the amount.
  • These are totally unsweetened, save for the blueberries, but you can add 2 tablespoons maple syrup to the batter if you prefer things a little sweeter.
