The weather up here has been pretty torrential for the past few days, so I haven't been out much as I didn't fancy swimming fully dressed! Additionally my NTC classes are cancelled for a couple of weeks (booo) so I've been at a bit of a loss.
In the middle of the downpour yesterday I realised I needed a few things, so ventured out and ended up in the giant ASDA near me. It's so huge I feel like you would never need to leave. They have everything. After much aimless wandering I picked up these cuties:
Of course you can't let a new toy rest idly in a drawer, so I just had to make some muffins. I'd read about bran muffins on my search for a healthy breakfast muffin and had managed to track down everything required for them. One thing I'm not sure about is what is meant by molasses in American recipes. In the UK you can buy molasses sugar which is a solid, but then there are sometimes references to molasses (treacle). In the end I went down the treacle route, which gave the muffins a strong burnt sugar taste I'm never quite sure of.
Otherwise the muffins were a success and the muffin cups easy to use and clean!
