I made healthy muffins this morning. They are pretty filling because they are wholemeal based.

1 cup chopped, dried mixed fruits (apricots, dates, raisins, apples, pears etc)
1 1/2 cup wholemeal self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup oat bran
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cup skim milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon honey

- In a small bowl, soak dry fruits with boiling water (about 1/4 cup) for about 5 mins.
- In a large bowl, sift in flour and baking powder, returning the husks into the bowl.
- Stir in oat bran and sugar, make a well in the centre.
- Combine, milk, egg, oil, honey in another bowl.
- Add the soaked fruit and milk mixture all at once to the dry ingredients.
- Fold in gently until combined, do not overmix.
- Spoon mixture into greased muffin tray, bake for 20 mins or until golden brown.
