Muffin Magic...Blueberry Muffins!!!




Muffin Magic the title said...
intrigued I read through the list...
  • there were Cheese and Bacon
  • Tomato and Fetta
  • Vanilla and Choc Chip...

and the one that caught my eye was Mixed Berry!!!



All in this fab Good Food magazine...Issue August 2011


Having blueberries on hand I used those along with Rapadura Sugar which gives a soft brown colour...
Rapadura is less processed and retains some nutritional value...
for more on this sugar check out the link above...






A real quick and easy treat for morning coffee on a Sunday!!!

Cook Up With Donna Hay...

My latest Cook Up with Vicki from Donna Hay magazine...

Menu was...Spiced Lemon Chicken
Creamed Corn Polenta
Sticky Date Pudding (adapted using gluten free self raising flour and rapadura sugar)




Creamed Corn Polenta from this issue...


Sticky Date Pudding from this issue...


Rapadura Sugar and Butter melting...


Pudding cooked...


Texture and colour using the Rapadura...I don't think the colour is much different to using other sugars...


The sauce was delicious...topped with a 'blob' of cream...YUM YUM YUM!!!
Especially since I can rarely buy Sticky Date Pudding gluten free even though it is all over the place in cafes and restaurants!!!
