This recipe is a perfect base to make any kind of sweet muffin for the lunchbox. All you need is a few simple ingredients and a muffin tray to make these delicious fruity muffins. I often change up the sweetener between maple syrup and honey, so choose the one that you have handy or you love the most.

 

TIPS
Store the muffins in an airtight container in the pantry for 2–3 days or freeze for up to a month.

Gluten free
Use gluten-free self-raising flour.

Dairy free
Use your favourite plant-based milk.

Fussy eaters
Little person not a blueberry fan? No problem. Try swapping out the blueberries for apple and cinnamon or chocolate and banana. Raspberries and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest are a pretty awesome duo too.

Ingredients

177 ml
milk
45 ml
honey or maple syrup, plus 1 tablespoon extra for drizzling
237 ml
self-raising flour
118 ml
fresh or frozen blueberries

Ingredients

1
egg
3/4 cup
milk
3 tablespoons
honey or maple syrup, plus 1 tablespoon extra for drizzling
1 cup
self-raising flour
1/2 cup
fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

You can cook these muffins in an air fryer or the oven.

If cooking in the oven, preheat to 180°C. Line six holes of a 12-hole nonstick muffin tray with liners. (I’ve recently started to use fancy baking paper and patty pans in the muffin tray instead of butter to grease it – but you go with whatever works for you.)

Use a protein shaker or handheld blender to mix.

The egg, milk, honey or maple syrup and self-raising flour until the mixture is thickshake consistency and all the ingredients are well combined.

Pour the mixture into the six muffin holes, stopping 1 cm from the top of the hole.

Distribute the blueberries evenly between the muffins, pushing some in deeper and leaving some exposed.

Bake for 20–25 minutes in the oven, until they are golden.

Insert a skewer into the centre of a muffin to check for doneness – if it comes out clean they are good to go. If using an air fryer, cook at 180°C for 15 minutes.

Allow the muffins to cool before taking them out of the muffin tray as they’re still a little fragile when warm.

Finally, drizzle with a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.

Before popping one of these in the lunchbox for a treat, make sure you wrap it in some plastic wrap to stop the honey/maple syrup sticking to everything.
