Ingredients

  • 9 ounces self-raising flour
  • 4 ounces light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 ml milk
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 397 g carnation caramels
  • 4 ounces roasted hazelnuts

Method

  • Heat the oven to 190C/350F/gas 5.Place the flour, sugar and baking powder into a bowl and mix together.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, without beating.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the caramel into the mixture, gently swirl through, but don't mix it in--it's nice to have pockets of caramel in the finished muffins.
  • Place muffin cases in a 12 cup tin.
  • Spoon the mixture into the cases until quite full, then top with the hazelnuts.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and golden, then serve warm.
