Now that you have added the fruit stir together being careful not to over mix and don’t beat out the lumps, you want to stir together for 10 seconds and that’s it.

Now divide the mixture equally into 12 muffin cases place in muffin tin.

Mix together the wholemeal flour, oats, oil and sugar to create a crumble type texture.

Spoon the mixture on top of the muffins, then bake for 20-25 minutes
