Mouldy Muffins

These delicious mouldy coconut muffins have a surprise in the middle – oozing blood. It’s not real blood, of course, but strawberry or raspberry jelly (jam).

What you need:

Muffins

• 2 ½ cups all purpose/plain flour

• 3 teaspoons baking powder

• 2/3 cup caster sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 ¼ cups shredded/desiccated coconut

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 ¼ cups milk

• 3 tablespoons raspberry or strawberry jelly/jam

• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Topping

• 3 tablespoons shredded/desiccated coconut

• 6 tablespoons confectioners’/icing sugar

• Green food colouring

What to do:

• Heat oven to 400°F and get your muffin tin ready.

• Sift together flour and baking powder; stir in sugar and coconut.

• Beat the egg, vanilla extract, milk and oil together in a separate bowl

• Add the dry mix to the wet mixture.

• Mix just until combined.

• Drop a large tablespoon of batter into each muffin case.

• Add a teaspoon of jelly/jam to each and the rest of the batter.

• Bake around 20 minutes or until well risen and firm to the touch.

• Leave the muffins to cool on a baking tray.

• For the topping mix the coconut and a few drops of food colouring.

• Add the confectioners’ sugar then add water until a paste forms.

• Press the topping mixture into the cracks of the cooled muffins.
