Cous cous breakfast muffins - syn free

The ingredients below will make six cous cous muffins. 

Baking powder gives 0.25 syns for all six muffins so I’m classing them as syn free - saying 0.04 syns per muffin made me sound ridiculous  

They’re probably a slightly lighter texture than baked oats, the cous cous being less dense than porridge oats but overall not a lot of difference.  If you haven't tried baked oat muffins yet you really should!  There are oads of variations to go at and I have them every day at work plus in the car when I'm travelling, the recipe and options are here.

Only thing I’d say is they could maybe do with more flavouring than baked oats but that may have been my choice of lemon and it’s slightly more subtle than almond or salted caramel.


Ingredients:
40g cous cous
2 eggs
2 tablespoons syn free sweetener
1 Muller light (any flavor of choice)
½ teaspoon baking powder (0.25 syn)
1 generous teaspoon essence (your choice of flavor)

Method:
Make the cous cous according to the directions and leave to cool


When cous cous is cool, in a separate bowl whisk eggs.  Once whisked stir in baking powder, sweetener and muller light
