Preparation
  • Mix the eggs and milk together.
  • Place the oat bran and baking powder in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.Stir in the egg and milk mix, then add the jam.
  • Add the blueberries to the mixing bowl and stir well. The resulting batter will be looser than a usual muffin mix.
  • Spoon the batter into the paper cases, filling each one to the top.
  • Bake in the oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool slightly before serving
