We were stuck inside the house most of the weekend as the kids recovered from winter headcolds. So we made up some Lemon Yoghurt muffins to cure hungry tummies and a dose of boredom. I can’t give you the exact recipe, because I sort of make these things up. Most times they work. But sometimes they don’t and I end up with egg on my face. These muffins, thankfully, turned out a treat and disappeared in minutes.
Most of the time I use this banana muffin recipe as a baseline and throw things in until they look to be the right consistency. I know, some of you are probably cringing. But I prefer guidelines to hard set rules, any day!

Do you prefer guidelines for creative feasting? Or do think that a recipe is a tried and tested preference for perfection?
They sure look yummy! They would last less than five minutes with our boys ;)
David (my hubby) does the same – he makes up recipes as he goes, and then cant remember whats in it to share the recipe! sometimes it works next time, other times the wildlife or bin get the food :)
Wow they look gorgeous, and I’m all for un-recipes. Must give these a whirl! :-)
Thanks Juliet…I hope they turned out okay!
