These muffins are quick and simple and quite nice as they are if you don't have leftovers to spice them up. Add your leftovers (fruit, cereal, corn, ham etc) and they become something really special. And best of all you're not wasting a single thing!
Ingredients: 2 cups self raising flour 1/2 cup sugar* 1/2 cup applesauce (you can use tinned baby apple or sieved stewed apple) 1 egg 1/2 cup milk 1/2 tsp vanilla extract* Method: Pre-heat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Mix the applesauce, egg and milk together. Combine the flour and sugar and add the wet ingredients. Stir to just combine. Now add the leftovers and gently stir through.
