Default Don't give up on the muffins!

Hmmm, funny how people's taste are different! I can't live without the muffins! I must admit that I have never made the plain muffin.That's my favourite recipes:

Chocolate: Instead of adding the 150ml of liquid, add 150-200ml of Cottees Diet Chocolate Topping and 3tbsp of unsweetened cocoa. Check consistency and add a little water if necessary.

Coconut: use 150ml of cream, coconut essence instead of vanilla and 1/2 cup of shreded coconut.

Chocolate and Coconut: Instead of adding the 150ml of liquid, add 150-200ml of Cottees Diet Chocolate Topping and 1tbsp of unsweetened cocoa, add 1/2 cup of shreded coconut

Chocolate and Walnuts: same as above, but instead of coconut, use 1/2 cup of chopped hazelnuts.

SportyOz,
Is it the Cottees low joule chocolate that you use? I just looked it up in the diet club carb count and for a bottle (how big is the bottle?) it is a whooping 107.2 carbs!!

Have I looked at the wrong one? That was the only diet one on there.

Cheers Cheley.

I think there is some mistake, the one that I use is called Cottee's Diet Chocolate Flavoured Topping and it says that has 11.5g carbs for 100ml; they also have a Caramel one but I haven't tried it yet.
Good luck with your muffins!! : )

Ok, I will have to check the fine print next time I go shopping. Maybe there is two types, low joule and diet.

Cheers Cheley

Muffin recipe please!

I got your variations, but because I bought the "cereal mix", I don't have the "muffin" recipe.

Will someone please give me the basic muffin recipe. I can't wait to try some of those variations!

Cheers,
Wabi
