Recipe: Weetabix and fruit muffins

 Weetabix and pineapple chocolate muffins:

ingredients (to make around four, depending on how big you make them)
two chocolate weetabix, crushed (one healthy extra B)
a few squirts of caramel skinny syrup
two eggs
half tsp mixed spice
half a tsp sweetener
around eight pieces of pineapple, each piece cut into four
10 - 20 g wholemeal SR flour (20g is the equivalent of half a heB or 3 syns)
quarter tsp baking powder

A suitable baking tray, spray oiled.  I used a silicon mini cake tray.  A muffin tray with paper cases would work fine too.

Method:
Preheat the oven to 190C
Place the crushed weetabix in a bowl and moisten/soften with some skinny syrup and a splash of milk.
Add the eggs, spice, sweetener and pineapple and mix well.
Add 10 to 20g wholemeal SR flour, depending on how sloppy the mixture is (mine was very sloppy so I used the full 20g).  Add the baking powder.  Mix well.
Spoon the mix into the cases/container and bake for around twenty minutes or until cooked.
Allow to cool a bit before turning out as they are very soft at first.

These turned out very nicely.  All these SW friendly cakes/muffins tend to be a bit pudding-y, but that's OK.  These were very filling and very satisfying.

Variations:
use ordinary weetabix
different skinny syrup
different spice
different fruit

I have added my own bits to it though.
