- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
28-30
ingredients
- 250 g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 200 ml skim milk
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 75 g brown sugar
directions
- Preheat fanforced oven to 180 Celcius.
- Grease a 12 mini muffin tin.
- For the cinnamon sugar, mix together the cinnamon and the light brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- For the mini muffins, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the egg, milk and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients and mix briefly until just combined.
- Put a 1/2 teaspoon of the batter into each prepared mini muffin cup. Sprinkle each muffin with a 1/4 tsp of cinnamon sugar, then spoon some more batter and cinnamon sugar into the mini muffin cup.
- Finish with a layer of batter, dividing it evenly. Using a fine skewer, swirl the mixture in each mini muffin cup to achieve the marbled effect.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins, or until risen and golden. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes (the sugar mixture will remain really hot, so don't be tempted to try them sooner), then turn out onto a wire rack.
- Serve warm or cold. These can be frozen too!
