This recipe was developed for our canteen as a kids pleaser and a recipe that we could give the kids as it is low in fat and sugar due to the serving size! It is yummy! This recipe is a variation from a cookery book called 'Muffins Galore' (by Catherine Atkinson), and was also posted by katybean.

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 28-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling for ingredients while you're in the middle of baking.
  • Properly Measure Your Ingredients: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure accurate measurements. Incorrect measurements can affect the texture and flavor of your muffins.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Muffin Tins Properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Overfilling can cause the muffins to overflow and bake unevenly.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature and time. Baking at too high a temperature can cause the muffins to burn, while baking at too low a temperature can result in undercooked muffins.
  • Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done. If it comes out with batter attached, bake for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon mini muffins are a delightful treat that are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet cinnamon flavor, and crunchy streusel topping, they are sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results. So preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's get baking!
