4. Spoon the mix into your prepared muffin tin. Scatter the chopped nuts over the top. Bake for15-20 mins, or till golden on top and cooked through in the centre – a skewer inserted into the middle of a muffin should come out clean.
5. Cool the muffins for a few mins before serving. They will keep well in an airtight tin for up to 2 days, or can be frozen and defrosted overnight.

These are dense and dry. They can only really be eaten warmed up with cream or ice-cream, so they don't stick your mouth together. The flavours really need a punch too. This recipe really needs reworking, so more moisture and flavour is added.
