Notes
- I used a plain wholemeal flour, I am currently living in Australia and find their wholemeal flour whiter in colour and it appears more processed than the wholemeal flour I was used to in the UK. I can not guarantee what the results will be like with less processed wholemeal flour as I haven’t tested although some people have commented that it produced a denser muffin. The recipe will also work well with plain / all purpose flour.
- Don’t throw away the juice. Save it and add it to smoothies or pasta sauces etc.
- Don’t be tempted to over stir the mixture. The mixture should be lumpy, thick and looking very messy. It should only take around 10 strokes with your wooden spoon.
- Every oven is different, so while you should still follow the bake time in this recipe, use a skewer to test your muffins a couple minutes before the end of the bake time. Your skewer will come out clean if they are ready.
- Please note: I have not added extra salt to this recipe as a lot of my readers are parents who do baby-led weaning. I used a strong cheddar and felt it gave enough flavour. However, reader feedback indicates that they lack in flavour and salt is needed. Adding chopped herbs is also an option.
