RECIPE NOTES:

• You can use plain or flavoured yogurt (blueberry or lemon would be lovely too).

• I suggest storing these mini muffins in an airtight container at room temperature if you are eating them in a day or so otherwise it's probably better to place them in the fridge.

• I've adapted the recipe from here.

• With this batter you can also make 6 muffins or a mini loaf!
