My oven only will accommodate 8 large muffin cases so mine are a bit bigger so take longer to cook and have 3g carbs each. Still jolly good value.

I took them to Aqua Christmas morning tea today and everyone just raved. WOO HOOO

yes please

oooppps forgot the blueberries. no leave the first then folk can try them selves . Perhaps just delete the nutritional on the blue berry one. Thanks Sherrie.

Thanks Sherrie. I actually think they all need 3 tsp as this lot were much more light and fluffy than the first attempt with the raspberries. Problem is they are sooooo good you just want to eat them all at once.:eek:

anyhow think I will make them to take down to the gathering on Christmas morning in smaller cases as my contribution to the table.
