The girls are tired of eating store-bought cookies and biscuits for recess so we decided to do some baking at home. My kids have never eaten school canteen food. Did I say never? Yes, that would be correct. Frankly if you’ve seen what canteen food looks like, or even been into the school canteen, you wouldn’t eat there either .

Anyhow I was too lazy to go sift through my muffin recipes so I just grabbed a bag of blueberry muffin premix from the bakery supply store. Presumably these are the premixes they use for commercial muffins, so it’s the same as buying the ready-made muffins from the bakery.

We love anything blueberry so this premix is perfect since it comes with dried blueberries. I just have to add 100ml water, 135g of oil (I used melted butter) and 175g of eggs.

Now don’t ask me why eggs re measured in grams! I have no idea how you would even do that, short of breaking the eggs into the measuring cup till you get 175g which strikes me as very strange.

Anyhow I just used two large eggs instead of measuring it out. The consistency turned out pretty okay as you can see.

I’m usually quite wary of premixes because I can’t control the amount of sugar that’s in it. I have this nasty habit of slashing the sugar by at least half the moment I get my hands on any recipe.

Luckily the muffins aren’t too sweet, just right, so I’m going to buy the premix again next time. I’ve got a bag of vanilla muffin premix and I’m going to add chocolate chips to it. Yum.
