2. Cream the butter or margarine and the sugar together until light and fluffy.

3. Add the whisked egg to the mixture and slowly fold in the self-raising flour.

4. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a small amount of milk or your child's usual milk substitute (for example soya, oat or coconut milk).

5. Divide the mixture equally between 7 paper muffin cases sitting in a muffin tin.

6. Cook for approximately 20 minutes in the top of the oven until risen and bouncy to touch or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted.

Adapting to make recipe wheat free: Use 100g wheat free flour (for example, Doves Farm*, Orgran*) with 2 teaspoons wheat free baking powder. Or 100g gluten free self-raising flour (for example Doves Farm*, Orgran*)

Notes

These muffins may be made and frozen before your child's baked egg food challenge. To defrost, take them out of the freezer at least 2 hours before the challenge appointment time. If you want to make these into chocolate muffins swap 20g of the flour for 20g cocoa powder and mix them together.
