I made a double batch of these super gooey muffins by 9am today…that’s how simple they are to make!
I’m going out for lunch so wanted to bake something that didn’t take long. A family friend emailed me this recipe last week and as soon as I read it I knew I had to try it – so today seemed like the perfect day. Muffins are great because they don’t need a lot (or any!) decorating. They’re not the prettiest things I have ever made but their taste sure makes up for it!
Makes 12 large Muffins.
[callout title=Ingredients for the Lemon Muffins:]
- 200g Self Raising Flour
- 100g Golden Caster Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 75ml Sunflower Oil
- 150ml Milk

- 100g Golden Caster Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 75ml Sunflower Oil
- 150ml Milk
- 1/2 tspn Vanilla Extract
- 12 tspns Nutella
[/callout]
Method:
Pre heat oven to 190°C
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Mix the wet ingredients in a jug.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry then stir just enough to combine.
- Place a tea spoon of mixture into to each paper case.
- Top with 1 tspn of Lemon Curd/Nutella/anything you may wish!.
- Then top with remaining mixture.
- Bake for approx 10-15 mins until risen & firm.
Donna also says…
- When cooled place 4 tbl spoons of Lemon Curd in a shallow bowl & heat in microwave until melted.
- Put 50g of golden caster sugar in a shallow bowl.
- Brush the lemon curd on to each cake then dip into the sugar. Voila!
- For the chocolate version If I’m feeling really naughty I top them with chocolate butter cream as well! The Nutella in the middle stays gooey & Very delic!
My muffins didn’t rise quite as much as I would have liked and the lemon ones took quite a bit longer to cook. But they both taste delicious!
Thanks to Donna Wood for the suggestion!
(The other reason I made these is that muffins tend to last longer than cupcakes…not sure this will be the case for these as I think they will be eaten pretty quickly!)
