Spiced rhubarb and custard muffins
I have a sweet tooth and love this rhubarb and custard combo. The hazelnuts can be replaced with almonds or walnuts.
Makes 12 regular muffins
2 Tbsp custard powder
¼ cup caster sugar
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups finely chopped rhubarb 120g brown sugar
2-3 tsp ground mixed spice 250g yoghurt
1 egg
75g melted butter
300g self-raising flour
2 Tbsp raw sugar
2 Tbsp chopped hazelnuts
1 Heat oven to 180C. Place 12 paper muffin cases in a muffin tray and lightly grease with baking spray.
2 In a small saucepan mix the custard powder, caster sugar, milk and vanilla. Bring to the boil, whisking all the time. Continue to whisk for 2 minutes. Tip out into a bowl and allow to cool.
3 Mix chopped rhubarb, sugar and mixed spice together in a medium-sized bowl. 4 Whisk together yoghurt, egg and melted butter, add to rhubarb then add in the flour. Stir together until just combined, do not over mix.
5 Spoon mixture to half fill muffin cases. Make a small indentation then spoon in cool custard. Top with remaining muffin mix. 6 Mix together raw sugar and chopped nuts, sprinkle over top of muffins. Bake for 20–25 minutes.
7 Allow to cool a little then place on a wire cooling rack. When completely cool, store in an airtight container.
