Shopping list

The Dough:
125g of semi-coarse flour, sifted
1 teaspoon of baking powder, sifted
50g of icing sugar, sifted + 2 tablespoons to coat blueberries
2 tablespoons of vanilla sugar
pinch of salt
75g of white Greek yoghurt
1 whole egg
50ml of olive oil
125g of blueberries, washed and drained

The Cinnamon Crumble:
50g of caster superfine sugar
50g of semi-coarse flour, sifted
40g of butter, cold in cubes
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, sifted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.

The Dough

In a medium mixing bowl place flour with baking powder, icing sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Stir with a spatula.

In another large mixing bowl, pour in the oil. Stir in the yoghurt and egg. Mix well with a balloon whisk.

Slowly stir in the dry mix into the liquid one (half at a time). Mix well. The Dough gets quite thick.

Now you can place drained blueberries into the first mixing bowl and coat them in icing sugar. Gently mix with a metal spoon.

The Cinnamon Crumble

In a small mixing bowl put sugar, flour and cinnamon. Mix with spatula and stir in the butter.
Work with hands until you get a crumble texture (not too buttery).

Lightly grease (I used butter) 10 medium muffin forms.

Presentation

Put 1 tablespoon of The Dough into each.

Next, 1 tablespoon of blueberries.
Then, little bit of The Dough on top. It doesn’t have to cover it all, the magic will do its work in the oven.
Finish with a handful of crumble. Continue with all the muffins until you have nothing left.

Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until a wooden skewer comes clean from the middle. Take the muffins out and let them cool down a bit.

Makes 10 serves.
