Serves 12. Makes 12 delicious muffins.

Per serve:

• Please note - these muffins are a GLUTEN FREE product, they are not low carbohydrate.

Ingredients:

• 1 Packet Empower Foods Gluten Free Muffin Magic Mix
• 2 large eggs (59g)
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup orange juice
• Grated zest of 2 oranges
• ½ cup poppyseeds
• ½ cup almond meal

Method:

1. Preheat fan forced oven to 160°C or a conventional oven to 175°C. Grease a muffin tray lightly with oil.
2. Place muffin mix, eggs, water, oil, orange juice, orange zest, poppyseeds and almond meal into a large mixing bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined (do not over mix).
3. Spoon into prepared muffin tray, filling each mould two thirds full.
4. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Muffins are baked when the top of the muffin bounces back slightly when gently pressed (if you prefer a more rich and moist muffin, underbake slightly).
5. Remove tray from oven and allow muffins to cool for 3 – 5 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.

Tasty Tip:

Patty Pans: Using paper patty pans will ensure that your muffins come out of the muffin tray easily and never stick.

To freeze muffins: When completely cold, wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap and freeze. Muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months.

To thaw muffins: Unwrap and place on a paper towel or a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on HIGH for 30 – 35 seconds.
