Step by step
Get ahead
Make and ice the muffins day before and chill. Remove from the fridge 2 hours before decorating with the berries and serving.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Line 9 holes in a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases.
- Prepare the topping: in a small bowl beat together the cream cheese, yogurt and caster sugar with a fork. Add the cornflour and stir until combined. Using the fork, beat the egg through the mix. Chill.
- Place the porridge oats in a mini food processor and blitz until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. Set aside.
- Using an electric hand whisk, cream the brown sugar and butter for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the egg white, then continue to whisk for 2-3 minutes until well mixed. Stir through the oats, then stir through the milk.
- Fold through the flour and bicarbonate of soda. Gently whisk to remove any lumps, if necessary. Divide the mixture between the 9 paper cases (you will need approximately 60g of mixture per case). Bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove the bases from the oven, they may not be cooked all the way through but will have a crust on them (this is fine). If any of the bases have 'peaked' above the top of the muffin case, simply trim with a small serrated knife, so the peak is level with the top of the case. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top of the bases to fill the cases. Return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Serve decorated with the blueberries and raspberries.
