Notes
- Full fat yoghurt makes the muffins richer, low-fat or fat-free cuts calories and fruit yoghurt can enhance the fruity flavour of your muffins - it's your pick!
- If you are using sweetened fruit yoghurt you can reduce the sugar quantity to half a cup.
- If you do not have fruit to add to the muffins you can add two grated apples.
- Muffins can be frozen for up to three months.
