I was contacted by the lovely people at flora to see if I wanted to try out their Flora Cuisine. I was sent a recipe book and ingredients and asked to make apple muffins on page 49.
I was really pleased with the choice as I love baking with apples especially at this time of they year. These muffins are really quick and easy to put together and tastes delicious! I love the combination of apples and cinnamon and may consider adding in nuts and or raisins next time.

I bought some of this as I came across it randomly and had never heard of it before... I haven't used it yet but it looks like your cakes turned out well!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly worked well in these muffins. So quick and easy too!
DeleteThey look great - still not convinced I want to true flora cuisine though, I'm a butter girl when it comes to baking lol
ReplyDeleteOh I do love my butter especially for buttercream and Victoria sponge. This is ok for everyday bakes and particularly bake sales as butter is getting really expensive :(
DeleteI'm dubious about it still. Why do we need it when regular flora works just fine. What's in the ingredient list that makes it runny? Muffins look nice though so there's a bonus!!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I didn't look at the ingredient list. The muffins tasted good tho! If its a proper buttery bake, I'd use real butter!
