We went blackberry picking in Victoria park last week and still had blackberries left over after we'd made jam. I decided to substitute the raspberries for blackberries, still using apples from our garden too. This little recipe is perfect and a great way for the kids to learn about picking their own crops and then making something fabulous with them,

These tasted beautiful. I did turn them two thirds of the way through the cooking though to get an even bake. Easy to adapt too - chocolate chips, raisins etc.

They've made great snacks for after school. I've been adding blueberries instead of the raspberries and they come out as nice

These are delicious. They also work well with blackberies - a good way of using up last year's glut from the freezer!

There are lovely, have also made them using peaches and rasberries. Kids love them.
Guest
just made this using raspberries and blueberries and made it into a traybake and it is lovely and I'm not a good baker lol great recipe!!!!
Guest
I have just made these with my 3 year old. They are delicious. We bashed up some of the left over raspberries with some icing sugar to make a nice bright topping for them. We will definatly be making these again...probably tomorrow once daddy gets his hands on them!
Guest
i made these this morning, i did apple, raisins and cinimmon version - i think i should have put in 3 small apples in instead of 2, because they are a bit dry. will defiantely try them again!
Guest
i made these this evening for my little boy while he was in bed. my hubby and i have nearly eaten them all, so looks like i'll be making some more tomorrow. damn you tasty muffins.
Guest
Made these last night. Grated the apples and then grated tinned pears! (Weird, I know... but that's all I had!) They are delicious, and are really naturally low in sugar. Just about sweet enough. They do stick to the muffin case a bit though, but that's not a problem in this house! Will be using this recipe again, and will chuck any fruit I've got into it next time. Well done netmums!
Guest
I luv easy recipes that are yummy and this is certainly one of those! But I had to use raisins, apple and cinammon instead as I didn't have any blackberries. DELICIOUS!
Guest
Made these last night lovely straight from the oven with a dollop of icecream yum!! I made mine with added berries, raspberry,red currants, balckberries as well as the apple of course. Did find I had to use 3 eggs though as 2 made mixture far to dense. Will be making these again very soon
Guest
top tip - make muffins as usual, add a tbsp of crumble mis to the top for Apple and Blackberry/raspberry crumble muffins - mmm!
Guest
Ok I must be doing something wrong lol! mine were not very nice at all, airy but dry & not much taste :-( perhaps it's the cup recipe, not too happy using cup measurements. Does anybody know how much I should use in ozs please?
Guest
Just baked them, they are delicious!!! I made some with diced dried apricot as well. Fantastic recipe, will be baking more! thank you!!!
Guest
Have the first batch in the oven now. Were so easy to make and smell so yummy. Can't wait to try them. I added a small amount of freshly grated nutmeg.
Guest
Sounds yum going to give them a go with my daughter tomorrow :)
Guest
fab...added a pinch a nutmeg...kids loved them
Guest
Made these yesterday afternoon....NONE left!! Lovely!!
Guest
DELICIOUS

FAbulous!
Guest
Really easy recipe with great results. I didn't have muffin cases so had to use my fairy cake tin so we had plenty for home where they quickly disappeared and I took some to work where they went down well too. My 4 year old daughter helped and loved the uncooked mixture ! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
