Chocolatey Milo muffins

Princess Chickadee had her Christmas party at her enrichment class on 15 December 2012.  The week prior to that, I had selected muffins as our contribution to the party.  However, Baby Chickadee fell ill and I did not go to work on 13 and 14 December 2012.  As such, I was unable to buy any muffins for the Christmas party.

As such, I woke up earlier on 15 December 2012 to bake some muffins for Princess Chickadee to bring to her Christmas party.

I find that Milo is such a useful item to have in the larder.  Not only does it make a delicious drink, it also comes in handy in baking.


INGREDIENTS

375g self-raising flour
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup Milo
90g butter (softened)
220g castor sugar
90g vegetable oil
310ml low fat milk
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup Hersheys kisses


METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.

2. Sift the self-raising flour, ground cinnamon and Milo in a bowl.  Set aside.

3. Cream the butter and castor sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

4. Add the oil and milk and mix well.

5. Stir in the Hersheys kisses.

6. Fold in the flour mixture using a spatula and stir until just blended.  Do not overmix.

7. Pour onto muffin pans that have been lined with muffin cases.

8. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.


TIP

I like to pour the muffin batter until almost full so that the muffin will rise above the muffin case.
