This recipe was sent in by Moki who took the initial work of George Best (not the clapped out footballer) and created a entire range of delicious muffins that spanned pretty much every combination you can think of. You need a muffin tray for these and you should line it with large patty cases. Because there is no butter or oil in this recipe (hence the low-fat nature of the muffin) they are best eaten on the same day you make them. On some occasions, I was so excited about the muffins, I would burn my mouth wolfing them down. Waiting for them to cook was just a form of torture.
