Allinson's

Is plain flour and all-purpose flour the same thing? In answer, yes and it is a staple baking ingredient in most kitchens.
We love Allinson’s Plain White Flour as it is expertly milled from British wheat. Whilst it doesn’t contain any raising agent, like Self-Raising Flour, it is often combined with baking powder or bicarbonate of soda in a recipe to create a beautiful rise in the oven.
This flour makes a whole host of bakes from scrummy scones to pretty tarts and pastries, producing a light and delicate texture. Also, a handy ingredient to have around when thickening sauces.

Salt

Baking powder

Eggs (whole, beaten)

Half Spoon

Half Spoon contains granulated sugar mixed with a small amount of sweetener making it 50% fewer calories than regular sugar. For baking, use half the amount of Half Spoon than the quantity of sugar stated in the recipe. &nbsp;Your recipe will be just as sweet but you may need a little more baking powder to help increase the volume.

Nielsen-Massey

Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract - the secret ingredient to guarantee that every bake has the x-factor. A drop here, a dash there, this Vanilla Extract is bursting with all the flavour and aroma of vanilla pods.
A showstopper on its own or the perfect partner to compliment other ingredients or flavours vanilla is the ultimate flavour enhancer. Savoury or sweet. Cake, cupcakes, buttercream and indulgent treats, this is a must-have ingredient in your kitchen.
What is the difference between vanilla extract and vanilla essence? Well, this extract is derived solely from hand-picked vanilla pods sourced from the finest growing regions of Mexico, Tahiti and Madagascar and entered in a cold extraction process extracting the vanilla from pod, preserving of 300 flavour compounds. For that reason, we always recommend extract instead of the more artificial Vanilla essence to achieve the scrummiest of flavours.

Calorie Conscious Apple and Cinnamon Muffins Recipe

Preheat the oven to 200°C, (fan 180°C, gas mark 6).&nbsp;Line a muffin tin with 12 cases. Sift the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder together into a bowl.

Whisk together the egg, Half Spoon Sugar, milk, vanilla and melted butter.

Sift the dry flour mix onto the egg mixture and taking a large metal spoon very quickly fold together the dry ingredients and wet. Take care not to stir or over mix – the dry flour only just needs to be combined. Fold in the diced apple, again quickly and without over mixing.

Divide the mixture between the muffins cases and bake in the pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from the muffin tin and leave on a wire rack to cool.

Tried a moment ago. Bery light brown as didn’t add enough cinnamon powder. Not so sweet - good

I made these buns and they were nice but a little dry....wonder would maple syrup added instead of sugar help to make them more moist? Any one have any idea how many calories these are per bun?

Hello,

I would suggest not adding anymore liquid into the recipe but maybe reducing the bake time if you are finding them dry, they might be slightly overbaked.

Happy Baking!

these were muffins were delicious and would strongly recommend them

Love this recipe! I used reduced fat butter and semi skimmed milk to lower the calorie count a little more...

Not especially sweet which I really like, but add a little more sugar or sub some of the milk for apple sauce if you want more sweetness. 

The recipe yielded 14 muffins when I made it... 159kcal per muffin 👌🏼
