This is a cinnamon Breakfast Biscuit loaded up with healthy fixings like apple, carrot, and dried foods grown from the ground. A variation of the famous Morning Brilliance biscuits, it’s sound enough for breakfast, but sufficiently sweet for morning tea!
Cinnamon Breakfast Biscuits
This is a biscuit that simply takes care of business into breakfast land in my books. It’s scarcely sweet, with just 12 grams of sugar for every biscuit, under a fourth of what you find in sweet oats like Organic product Circles, and there’s an amazing measure of great-for-you new carrot and apple in it.
To cite Stephen, my head gourmet specialist at RecipeTin Dinners (my food bank):
Muffin add-ins
This is a decent recipe for utilizing extra pieces of dried products from the soil. You can in a real sense use anything you need, or even seeds like pepitas and sunflower seeds.
Raisins and pecans – These are the foods grown from the ground I utilized, however as referenced above, you can utilize anything you desire or have. I like raisins over sultanas and currants since they’re greater and plumper! What’s more, I feel like the hearty kind of pecans simply work in this entire breakfast biscuit.
Coconut – For flavor, dampness maintenance in the morsel, and a dash of pleasantness (however note, I utilize unsweetened not improved). I utilize dried-up coconut which is the finely destroyed coconut. Destroyed coconut (the fine strands) will likewise work however chips will be excessively enormous.
On the off chance that you could do without or don’t have coconut, forget about it and add 1 tablespoon of flour to the player.
Granny Smith apple – This is my decision of apple since I appreciate that it’s tart-sweet. Yet, any tone and assortment of apples will work here. Utilize a medium to enormous one. We want 1 1/4 cups of destroyed tissue, including the juices. Try not to firmly pack the cup to quantify (ie don’t press the destroyed apple down into the cup with your hand),
Likewise, I don’t strip. There are additional supplements for the skin!
Carrot – This recipe calls for 2 cups of destroyed carrot. As with the apple, don’t firmly pack the cup to quantify, and don’t strip!
biscuit player
Not as numerous replacements for the player since baking is somewhat of a science so there’s a justification behind the sum and utilization of fixings. In any case, there are still a few choices, which is generally great!
Wholemeal flour – Otherwise called entire wheat flour, it has more sustenance in it than plain white flour. However, you can utilize ordinary flour assuming that you have!
Earthy colored sugar – The biscuit just calls for 3/4 cup which, across 12 biscuits, is just 12 grams for every biscuit which places it in “adequate breakfast” an area in my books! You can decrease down to 1/2 cup however anticipate that the piece should be a touch less delicate than ideal.
White sugar can be subbed notwithstanding, the biscuit variety will be paler and it will have a somewhat less caramelly flavor. Additionally, if you utilize white sugar rather than earthy-colored sugar, don’t substitute the squeezed orange with milk. See FAQ if you have any desire to get geeky (in outline: baking soft drink needs a corrosive to give it a launch, in this recipe there is corrosive in earthy colored sugar and the squeezed orange. So don’t substitute both).
Baking pop (otherwise known as bicarbonate pop) – This is the very thing that makes the biscuit rise. You can substitute with 5 1/4 tsp baking powder yet the biscuit will have a somewhat less delicate scrap and the vault is a touch less brilliant (on the grounds that baking soft drinks makes prepared merchandise more brilliant in the stove). It’s anything but nothing to joke about however and wouldn’t prevent me from making it!
Cinnamon powder – The fundamental flavoring for the player and furthermore gives the biscuit a stunning warm earthy colored tone!
Ginger powder – Extra flavoring so not fundamental. Substitute with all flavor, pumpkin zest, or comparable, or simply forget about it.
Oil – Any impartial enhanced oil is fine here. I like to utilize plain olive oil (don’t utilize additional virgin olive oil, the flavor will rule). Fluid coconut oil will likewise work yet I’d prescribe being mindful so as not to utilize one with a solid coconut flavor as it will overpower the biscuit flavor.
Spread and non-fluid coconut oil (ie the sort you need to dissolve) will work however the biscuits are a piece less soggy inside.
Squeezed orange – You can substitute with any natural product juice you have, or substitute with milk. It’s not basic, and you can’t taste it. I simply required somewhat more fluid for the hitter and picked squeezed orange to be subject for these morning meal biscuits.
💡 For individual cooking geeks: Indeed, the corrosive in the OJ enacts the baking soft drink to make the biscuit rise however so too does the corrosive in earthy colored sugar (indeed, there’s corrosive in earthy colored sugar) so it’s alright to substitute with milk as we have one more corrosive source in this hitter.

How to make Cinnamon Breakfast Muffins
You might get little bits of carrot and apple all over your kitchen and yourself. But the actual muffin batter part is super duper easy!
The add-ins
- Toast the walnuts for 8 minutes in a 190°C/375°F (170°C fan-forced) oven. This will bring out the flavour so you can actually taste walnut when you bite into a piece in the muffin. It’s especially important if your walnuts are a little on the stale side.
- Chop – Cool the walnuts on the tray then roughly chop.
- Grate the carrots using a standard box grater. I don’t peel the carrots. Free nutrition!
- Grate the apple as well. Again, I don’t peel!
Add-ins prepped. Now onto the batter!
The batter
- Dry – Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl to combine.
- Wet – Whisk the wet ingredients in a separate bowl until combined.
💡 Whisk dry before the wet ingredients. If you do the wet ingredients first, the flour gets stuck to the whisk when you whisk the dry ingredients. It matters – what if it’s all baking soda that gets stuck to the whisk?!
- Add wet into dry – Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl.
- Add-ins – Then add all the add-ins. The carrot, apple, fruit and nuts.
- Mix with a rubber spatula just until you can no longer see flour. The mixture will be fairly thick, thick enough to stay in a mound in the muffin tin (see step 6 photo).
- Fill – Fill the holes in a muffin tin sprayed with oil or lined with muffin cases. Use all the mixture – it will mound above the rim, like pictured, guaranteeing muffins with lovely domed tops! You don’t need to worry about overflowing with these muffins, they will rise and dome.
💡An ice cream scoop with a lever is a fast way to fill muffin tins evenly and neatly.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffins are a deep golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool for at least another 5 minutes before grabbing one! Don’t skip the cooling time. The muffins are quite fragile when piping hot so are susceptible to breaking when you lift it out of the muffin tin. The resting time also allows the middle to finish cooking (it will taste a little under-cooked if you eat it straight away, something impatient people like me will have experienced firsthand).
You can eat these plain – they are full of flavor and the crumb is so soft and tender, it’s great even at room temperature.
But I highly encourage experiencing these at least once with a smear of lightly salted butter. Softened. Don’t try to spread rock hard butter on this soft muffin, you’ll smush the crumb!
Bake them this weekend to tuck into lunch boxes next week, for after-school snacking, book club, and breakfast on the run. Fitting for so many purposes! And a great shelf life of 5 days. Enjoy! – Nagi x
