Preparation

• Pre-heat the oven to 180deg/gas mark 4. Mix all the dry ingredients together, then add the wet fruit and carrot and stir briefly with a fork, to combine.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and oil together, then add to the flour/fruit mixture and stir lightly with a fork.
• You're not looking for a well-mixed texture, as muffins seem to benefit from the odd lump and bump.
• Spoon into muffin cases (silicone versions are great) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
• Try not to eat them all before they've cooled down.
