1/4 cup sultanas

1/2 cup reduced fat milk
1/2 cup caster sugar

1/2 cup reduced fat spreadable cream cheese, for serving

Handy Tips
These muffins are best served within one day of making, but can be frozen for up to 1 month before being iced. Always use a large metal spoon and a 'cutting' action when folding ingredients in a muffin mixture. 28c per serve

Method

  1. Sift together flour, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon and return the husks to the bowl. Stir in sultanas.
  2. Whisk together yoghurt, milk, sugar and egg. Stir in apple and then gently fold into sifted dry ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  3. Spoon mixture into 12 x 1/3 cup capacity lightly greased muffin pans. Bake at 200°C for 12-15 minutes or until golden and cooked. Stand in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  4. Spread each muffin with 2 teaspoons cream cheese, dust with cinnamon and top with a wedge of apple for decoration, if desired.
