Weetabix Muffins 2015

[lt52]

Hey guys,

In the interest of using the forum more and trying to sort and try new things - i made some Weetabix muffins.

I've tried them before and i think they are a great way to use a HEB, i do get bored of just cereal and try to avoid bread at all costs...

Hopefully the picture shows below, mine seem a bit wet in the middle. I'm wondering if they should be, the first batch were less but the second batch weren't.
I've tried 1 egg, then 2, 1/2 muller then 1/4 of one, cooking for 20 minutes, 30 minutes, making and splitting it over 6/7/8 muffin cases.... blimey!

Any one got any tips as it seems no matter how long i cook or what ingredients i use or quantity of them as i seem totally disappointed vy them... maybe its just my baking skills!

I do find them a little wetter in the middle but not too bad.
i only make 4 from my mixture but use 2 eggs,2 weetabix,1/4 Yog,sweetener and flavouring(usually almond flavour and cherry muller as it tastes like a cherry Bakewell). I do cook for at least 30 mins and then check in them as mine always need longer.....probably at least another 10-15 mins but not sure if that's just my oven!
i wouldn't say anything was wrong with your baking skills.........they are just an acquired taste x

You have just become my favourite member by saying i have good baking skills! Especially as i don't - they are pretty horrific!
Well i did 6 so slightly smaller for 30 minutes and i think thats the best i've come up with.

Thanks for the advice and kind words!!!

Haha - my sister ate them all unfortunately!

The recipe that i use is:

2 Eggs/2 Weetabix/Sweetner/1/2 a syn free yoghurt

Break up the weetabix, mix in 2 beaten eggs, half a pot of syn free yoghurt and sweetner (to taste - i don't put much in).
I put mine in silicone muffin cases and divide it between 6 of them. Cook them at 180 for 25-30 minutes.

They work out in total as 1 HEB or 1 syn each if you make 6. You can also be creative, you could add a hot chocolate mix for a further two syns, try different yoghurt flavours (although i can't taste the difference or yoghurt really).

Enjoy

How about sticking them in the microwave to 'dry' them out a bit!

Nice recipe - very similar to the others out there. Adding sultanas is quite a nice touch and this would make them at 2.5 syns each, or HEB plus 4 so not bad
