Yogurt Muffins

Ingredients

1/3 cup honey
1 egg well beaten
¼ cup oil
1 cup EasiYo yogurt
2 cups self raising flour
½ tsp salt

Method

Mix together honey, egg, oil and yogurt.
Sift flour and salt and add to batter. Do not beat.
Mix with a few swift strokes – the muffin batter should be only just mixed and a little lumpy.
Spoon the mixture into a well-greased muffin tray, pushing it off with spoon held low to avoid stretching the batter.

Bake in a preheated moderate oven 180°C for about 20 minutes.
Serve warm. These freeze well.
