150g/5oz light brown sugar

25g/1oz porridge oats (plus 15g/?oz extra for sprinkling)

180ml/6?fl oz buttermilk

1 egg, beaten

125ml/4?fl oz vegetable oil

150g/5oz fresh blueberries (frozen and defrosted is fine if you can’t find fresh berries)

2 Place 12 paper cases into a muffin tin.

3 Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and oats and mix thoroughly. Add the buttermilk, egg and vegetable oil, mix through then stir in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.

5 Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
