I must admit I haven’t been baking much lately. I recently got a place for Oxford half marathon so I’ve started training. This means I’m watching what I eat a bit more, but I must admit I still find it hard to avoid a mid-morning snack. To help with my snacking I’ve started baking Mini Muffins and have them as a daily snack throughout the week.
Granola Mini Muffins
Tasty morning snack sized muffins.
Course Snack

Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 250 g Self-raising flour
- 125 g Granola
- 75 g Soft brown sugar
- 75 ml Buttermilk
- 50 ml Vegetable oil
- 2 Eggs (medium)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla paste
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 170C. Line a 12 muffin tray with paper cases (or prep 12 silicon muffin cases).
- Put the flour and granola in a large bowl. Mix the liquid ingredients, sugar and eggs in a jug with a whisk.
- Fold the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients in the larger bowl. Then use the two spoons method to add the mixture to the cases.
- Bake for 15 minutes then turn out on to a cooling rack.
Recipe Notes
Keep in an air tight box and they’ll keep for 5 days (perfect for mid-week snacks!)
These were wonderfully simple to make and need barely any mixing. You can make them in half an hour and have a batch for the week ahead. The next thing I want to try is adding some fruit into the mix, like sultanas or fresh cherries. I’ll keep experimenting with the recipe and update you when I’ve got that working!
