bircher muesli muffins

lately i've been doing this incredibly nerdy thing involving breakfast-muffin-baking of a sunday afternoon. yes yes i know it is ridiculously domestic (and these little babies are sickeningly healthy) but they make the math look better in the morning light.

so here's the deal...


one! half a cup of rolled oats, a mashed banana, a grated apple, whatever other fruit you fancy and enough yoghurt to make a sloppy bircher muesli mess. sometimes i like to put in a little orange zest.

two! new bowl! one and a half cups o flour, sifted with three teaspoons of baking powder and one of cinnamon. throw in a big handful of chopped nuts or coconut or summin.


three! third of a cup each of honey and brown sugar in with the flour.

four! dried fruit, lots of, in the muesli. i like cranberries and apricots and dates.


five! mix everything together with an egg for good gooey measure. spoon in into twelve muffin forms and bake for twentyish minutes at one-eighty.

six! aaaaaah.
