Note
- Jobs for the kids: Your children can select the paper muffin cases, grate the lemon zest and help an adult hold the electric mixer when beating. They can also crack the eggs and add them, measure all the dry ingredients and stir them into the batter, measure the berries, and scoop the mixture into the muffin cups. – You can use either fresh or frozen mixed berries in this recipe. If you prefer, the muffins can be sprinkled with desiccated coconut instead of icing sugar. – PER SERVE Energy 338kcal, 1416kj • Protein 7.2g • Total Fat 24.4g • Saturated Fat 9g • Carbohydrate 22.5g • Fibre 2.7g • Sodium 131mg
