What You Will Need

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a muffin tray with 12 individual muffin cases.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the Ceres Natural Batter Mix and golden caster sugar. Create a well in the middle.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, whole milk, and egg. Gradually add this liquid to the dry mix, stirring lightly.

4. Divide the resultant batter into two separate bowls. In the first bowl, incorporate the dark chocolate and jarred mincemeat. In the second bowl, mix in the white chocolate and dried cranberries. Stir each gently.

5. Evenly distribute the two variations of batter among the 12 muffin cases.

6. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the muffins have risen and are golden brown.

7. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and serve while still warm.
