Midsummer Muffins

Summer Solstice Honey Muffins ☀️ 🍯 🌼

So I don’t think you can celebrate the summer without something sweet and as part of my being a member of the new #plantwondercollective I wanted to share my honey muffins with you. These muffins are just the right amount of sweet, if you are not feeling the frosting, a dusting of icing sugar and topped with Dandelion petals and clover is perfect!

For the muffins you will need:

2 cups of Plain Flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1/4 cup Honey

1 large egg

1 cup whole milk

60g butter (melted)

Petals of 10-20 dandelion heads

Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius

1. Mix all your dry ingredients in a bowl combine well including the dandelion petals (reserve a few for decoration on top of cakes and a few for sprinkling)

2. Combine all your wet ingredients in a jug and combine well. TIP swirl a tsp of olive oil in your cup before measuring your honey so it won’t stick to the cup when pouring out.

3. Add the wet to the dry and whisk well, do not over mix.

4. Divide between 12 Muffin Cases and bake in the centre of a preheated over for around 15-20 mins or until golden and springy and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the centre.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool, meanwhile make the butter cream by combining

140g butter, softened

280g icing sugar

1-2 tbsp milk

¼ tsp vanilla extract

few drops food colouring I used yellow, cream together and continue to whisk until light and fluffy.

Decorate the cakes with the frosting or icing sugar and top with dandelion and clover heads.
