It’s no secret that I love me some muffins and these ones are no exception. Muffins are quick and easy to make and because they’re a neat individual serve, there’s no need to share. What can I say? I’m an only child and sharing doesn’t suit me! These muffins are berry delicious and I’ve updated the recipe with a Thermomix conversion! Let’s make some muffins!

2½ cups (375g) self-raising flour
¾ cup (165g) caster sugar

200g frozen mixed berries (don’t thaw)
