Do you know the muffin man? Muffins are good for breakfast or a snack any time but they really have to be eaten the same day or frozen. The key is not stirring the mixture too much.

1½ cup wholewheat flour
1½ cup wholewheat pastry flour
¼ cup brown sugar
2tsp baking powder
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
