Ingredients

2 2⁄3 cups (210g) oatbran
5 cups (560g) rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon bicarb. soda
1⁄3 cup (60g) lightly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2⁄3 cup (80g) walnuts, chopped
1⁄2 cup (80g) pitted dates, roughly chopped
1⁄2 cup (100g) dried apricots, diced
1⁄3 cup (60g) sultanas
2-3 cups (400g) mixed fresh fruit, grated or roughly chopped
1⁄4 cup natural yogurt
4 egg whites
200ml apple or orange juice

Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fanforced. Line a 6 x 1-cup capacity non-stick muffin pan with paper baking
cups.

2. Thoroughly combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir through nuts and fruit. Combine yogurt, egg whites and half the juice. Stir into dry mix, adding remaining juice as necessary to bind, depending on fresh fruit used - you should be able to roll the mixture in your hands; muffins work best when the dough is just mixed and not overworked.

3. Press mixture into prepared cups. Bake for 20 minutes until cooked when tested with a skewer. Delicious warm.

TIPS: We change the fruit depending on the season - apple, rhubarb, pineapple, berries, banana - either singly or in combination.
