Crunchy almond top mixed berry muffins

Ellebelle's crunchy top mixed berry muffins

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 cup wholemeal flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup plain yoghurt
  • 1/2 cup grapeseed or olive oil
  • 1/2 cup heaped with mixed berries (frozen or fresh works fine)
Topping
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup flaked almonds, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 180° and line a 6 hole muffin tin
Place plain and wholemeal flours, baking powder, cinnamon, oats,1/2 cup of brown sugar into a large bowl and stir together. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs, yoghurt, oil. Whisk the eggs, yoghurt and oil for a couple of seconds in the well that you have created before adding the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold through mixed berries, don’t overmix or else your muffins will end up tough. Spoon into muffin tin.

To make crumble topping: mix flaked almonds with brown sugar and sprinkle over muffins
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
