Blueberry & Coconut Muffins
While most of Britain celebrates bank holiday weekend, I'm at home mourning the end of my six week break off work. If a student feels anxiety at the start of the year, then be sure that a teacher's nerves have doubled. One of the hardest things for me to do while working is remembering to eat breakfast. I'm an early bird which doesn't leave me a lot of time to play with but I've made it my mission to start eating something before I leave the house.
One easy solution has been to make muffins. They're quick to make and grab for an on-the-go breakfast while I walk around London with bleary eyes, too. But if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: I am not a baker. I love cakes and pastries but my mind boggles at the level of precision you need to make a dessert go right!
