Ingredients
Dry mix (for the jar)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons finely minced candied lemon peel
- 1/2 cup finely minced dried cherries apples, or apricots
- 1/3 cup chopped almonds or walnuts
Add when baking
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk or vanilla yogurt
- 1 egg
- The full jar of mix
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- whisk
- airtight jar
- muffin pan
Directions
- Stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Layer this in a jar with the oats, brown sugar, lemon peel, fruit, and nuts, or seal everything in a vacuum bag. Chop the fruit and peel quite small so they spread evenly through the mix.
- Tie on a tag that lists the baking additions.
- When you are ready to bake, heat the oven to 400°F and grease or line 12 muffin cups.
- In a bowl, whisk the oil, milk or yogurt, and egg, then stir in the whole jar of mix until it just comes together. Leave the batter a little lumpy.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Let the muffins rest in the pan for a short while, then transfer them to a rack.
