    Good Morning Muffins
These bran type muffins are by Allegra McEvedy, Leon founder. They are a real delight, a great balance of goodness (bran, apple, banana) and naughtiness (syrup and sugar).
Ingredients
2 eggs
90ml sunflower oil (I used groundnut) 3 heaped teaspoons apple sauce or stewed apple (I chopped up an apple finely) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ripe banana, mashed with a fork 4 tablespoons maple syrup (I used golden syrup) 200g wholewheat flour 6 tablespoons soft brown sugar 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 4 tablespoons bran A big handful of chopped pecans Scattering of oats, pumpkin or sunflower seeds for the tops Method/steps
1 Heat the oven to 180 C.
2 Whisk eggs in a bowl, beat in oil, apple, vanilla, banana and syrup 3 In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients: flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon and bran. 4 Mix dry bowl into the wet one, stir in pecans 5 Spoon into muffin cases (I only had fairy cake ones, hence making 12 instead of 8), sprinkle with oats, pumpkin or sunflower seeds 6 Bake for 30 mins (20 mins if making small ones - you can test if they are ready by inserting a skewer/fork, it should come out clean) Additional tips
Allegra says that they should create proper muffin tops, mine just made tidy domes but were none the worse for it. She also says you can pour extra maple syrup on them for a teatime treat. I say bake them with the kids, they’ll love it!
