Black Sesame Muffins


I have 2 packets of black sesame that have been lying in the cupboard for some time. Since I don’t like to keep things for too long and I clear my stuff from time to time, it’s time to do something with it. It was Thursday and I asked my friend, Lynn what should I bake and she said “Make some healthy muffins.” There you go…the solution to my sesame seeds!

Sesame seeds are very rich in minerals such calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, and to give it a more healthy feel, I added some wheat bran. These muffins sure made a good breakfast and you definitely can’t find it in bakeries! So, make your own :)


Ingredients:
Plain Flour (1 ½ cup)
Wheat Bran (1/2 cup)
Ground Toasted Black Sesame (1/2 cup or more if you like stronger sesame taste)
Baking Powder (3tsp)
Salt (1/2 tsp)
Sugar (3/4 cup)
Egg (1)
Yoghurt (4 tbsp)
Milk (1 cup)
Oil (1/4 cup)

Preheat oven at 190C


Method:
1. Sift plain flour and baking powder. Mix in wheat bran, black sesame, salt and sugar. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, mix well egg, yoghurt, oil and milk.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture in no. 1. Mix till combined.
4. Spoon into muffin cups and bake for ~25min or until cooked.
