Casey Carrot Muffins

This great basic muffin recipe comes from the Destitute Gourmet.  I have made these into Carrot Muffins but you can add whatever you like banana, choc chips, blueberries etc. Once again the idea is quick, easy, cook with the kids and add what flavours you like. I am going to try Blueberries and Lemon next!     
Basic Muffin Recipe
2 cups self raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 cup sugar
100g butter – melted
1 egg
1 cup milk
 Additions to make Carrot Muffins 
1 tsp of mixed spice, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1 large carrot peeled, grated. 
Preheat the oven to 200°C, grease muffin pans.
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, grated carrot and dried spices. Combine the butter, milk, vanilla essence and egg and whisk with a fork to combine. Mix the liquids into the dry ingredients till just mixed. Do not beat. Spoon the mixture into muffin tins and place in the oven. Bake for 10 -15 minutes or until golden and the muffin top springs back when pressed.
