These muffins are not too sweet which makes them fantastic for breakfast or a morning snack. Or why not serve them warm as a dessert with a dollop of ice cream on the top.

Cooks Tip: Baking powder reacts very quickly, therefore it is important not to leave the mixture once the liquid ingredients are added, otherwise the muffins will not rise as well.
