3 Spoon the mixture into a muffin pan that’s been sprayed with a little oil, or use paper muffin cases.
4 Bake the muffins for about 15 minutes, until the tops are golden and the muffins are cooked through.
5 If you like, in the last 5 minutes of cooking sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a little brown sugar, which will melt on the top.
6 Cool on a wire rack.
