Food Porn - Muffins?

Muffins - sort of

These are supposed to be muffins! They don't look like them and certainly don't resemble Nicole's wonders.

In addition to cranberries (that's the red stuff) the recipe called for a little olive oil and one egg. This scarcely bound the flour and sugar together - the mix resembled little more than breadcrumbs. I added a splash of orange juice and another egg. Not a great improvement but I packed a muffin tray and baked them anyway. The resulting texture is a little odd more like a fruit crumble on the outside and a cake further in. Lovely flavour, though ,from the cranberries and a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove.

They are actually destined for a mystery European - well I know who it is but they don't - as part of the Euro wide food parcel exchange - Euro Blogging By Post. I made eight, had to try two (obviously) and managed to drop one in the washing up bowl. So five are heading out somewhere to the med.
