Mother-in-Law's Wholewheat Fruit Muffins

This is a recipe I snagged from my Mother-in-Law.

These muffins were so delicious, I had to add it here for you all to try.

The fruit cake mix could be replaced with dates, dried apricots or even chopped apple.

Ingredients:
250ml fruit cake mix - raisins, sultanas etc
5ml bicarbonate of soda
250ml boiling water
200ml brown sugar
30ml vegetable oil
500ml wholewheat flour
5ml baking powder
2.5ml cinnamon
2.5ml mixed spice
5ml vanilla
5ml salt

Method:
Preheat oven to 220C.
Mix together the fruit, bicarbonate of soda and boiling water and leave to cool.
Mix the brown sugar and oil. Combine this with the fruit mixture until the sugar dissolves.
Add the flour, baking powder, spices and salt and blend well.
Spoon into a 12 hole muffin pan and bake for about 20-22 minutes or until risen and cooked through.
