This fab Basic Muffin Mix recipe can so easily be adapted for many other Muffin recipes both sweet and savoury.  When I refer to the Basic Mix, this is it!

Ingredients:

• Oil or meled butter for greasing
• 280g plain white flour (up to 50% can be swapped out for plain wholemeal flour, bran, oats, oatmeal, oatbran, wheatgerm or polenta)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ bicarbonate of soda if using buttermilk or yoghurt
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 115g sugar (brown or white) – for savoury muffins omit the sugar
• 2 medium eggs
• 9 fl oz milk (can substitute buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream, cream, coconut milk, fruit juice or fruit puree)
• 6 tbsp sunflower oil or 85g butter, melted and cooled
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

This basic mix or "base recipe" can be used to adapt as required and you will see me refer to it in future postings.
