WHOLEMEAL OATMEAL MUFFINS TOPPED WITH COFFEE CREAM ICING : MY INDULGENT "COFFEE TIME" HOME BAKE


My favourite "Oatmeal Wholemeal Muffins" are a "Healthy Alternative " without the "coffee cream" to a busy life style....have it plain as "Breakfast on the GO " or  for Tea with friends topped with a topping of your choice......;-)))

(For people in a "hurry" and want a "QUICK FIX COFFEE KICK" just buy a ready made sponge cake and top with the coffee icing , details as given below BUT there is a world of difference in this and my original recipe;)):

Baking time : 45 Minutes
Preparation time : 10 minutes


Ingredients  for the muffin mix :


1.Self Rising Whole mean flour : One and a half cup
2.Eggs : 5-6 (6 egg white & one yoke)
3.Brown Sugar : Half a cup
4.Oats -1 cup
5.Vanilla : 1 table spoon
6.Cinnamon : half a tea spoon (Optional)
7.Butter : 100 grams /Cooking oil half a cup

Ingredients for the Icing :

1. Coffee Powder : 1 table spoon
2. Icing sugar 100 grams : 1 cup
3. Whipped cream
4. Milk
5. Egg white : 1 -2

Preparation :

• Thaw the butter to room temperature. Cream the butter/low fat spread (30 grams) or oil (half a cup) with the brown sugar (half a cup) into a smooth lump free mix .
• Separate the egg whites from the yokes and whip up to get stiff peaks as show in the pic.
• Mix 1 table spoon of coffee with 1 table spoon of whipped cream ,milk & One cup of icing sugar , fold in 1 egg white whipped up to a stiff peak , mix well in a blender and keep in the fridge to set.
• In a bowl add 1 cup of self rising flour , half a cup of milk, the creamed butter and sugar and mix well with a cake beater . In the meanwhile gently fold in the whipped egg whites , add one table spoon of the vanilla essence (if you wish), cinnamon powder (I like it in everything) or half a table spoon of coffee powder.
• Whisk gently to get in the air bubbles in and to form a smooth flowing mixture with no lumps.
• Pour into moulds of your choice to set.

Bake in a pre set 200 Degree C Oven for 5 minutes on high and then lower the temperature to 180 Degrees and bake for another 40 Minutes until the top turns golden brown and crusty and your knife when inserted comes out clean ....

Cool and top with the Iced Coffee mix and whipped cream and serve with some home made indulgent Coffee Frappe topped with whipped cream and cofee   ...and "forget about all the calories" and Enjoyyyyyyyyy.....LOL ;-))))
