I can’t remember the last time I baked muffins. I think I stopped making them when I started baking cupcakes. I have now grown to appreciate them better – comes with age, maybe. Rustic, easy to transport and simple to make, what’s there not to love? By the way, one of my biggest pet peeves is people identifying cupcakes as muffins.
It’s been a while since I last made my own granola. I love making it from scratch as I can decide its sweetness, crunchiness and flavour. This time, I modified my usual recipe, with the special addition of apple juice and organic dried figs which I bought from Amsterdam. I also swapped the usual olive oil with coconut oil. The result was an aromatic blend of spices and coconut, the best I’ve made so far. Note: You may use other types of fruit juice, e.g. pear, orange, etc. Be adventurous!
