In South African there is a franchise of restaurants that sells giant muffins and bottomless mugs of coffee. The muffins are a meal in itself.
My favourite was the Giant bran muffin served with a dish of cheese and strawberry jam.
Add bran, flour, milk and baking soda and baking powder, vanilla essence and mix together.
Add raisins, grated carrot, chopped nuts and coconut to mixture.
Add mixture to greased muffin tins, make sure the mixture fills the tin about halfway with muffin mixture.
Blueberries are in seasons – what better way than to make some muffins with fruit in season. This is a recipe that improves if the batter is allowed to stand for a few hours.
Cream butter and sugar , add eggs and mix for a few minutes. Add flour, baking powder and cinnamon, stir together.
Allow the mixture to stand, preferably put in the fridge.
Add mixture to greased muffin tin.
Bake at 200 C till golden brown.
