Serves 12
Preparation Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
11/2 cups self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup blueberries
60 g (1/4 cup) Flora pro-activ
   Spread
, melted
11/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method:

step 1: Pre-heat oven to 200°C. Brush a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with a little extra melted Flora pro-activ.

step 2: Sift flours, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl. Mix in sugar and blueberries. In another bowl, combine Flora pro-activ, milk, egg and vanilla. Mix the Flora pro-activ mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, using no more than 16 strokes. Spoon mixture into prepared tin.

step 3: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out cleanly. Serve warm or cold.

Points of Importance: It is very important not to overmix this type of muffin: even though the mixture will appear incompletely mixed, do not be tempted to continue mixing or the muffins will be tough. A 'cauliflower' appearance on the top of the muffin will indicate a light textrued, tender interior.
