Those yummy "cupcake" muffins

Here is my "bit of this, splash of that" recipe for some of the best muffins I have ever made... they were all eaten so quickly I didn't even get a photo!

Ingredients:
Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil: one third to half a cup
Caster sugar: half cup-ish
Eggs: two
Kefir (or any runny yoghurt or sour milk): about a cup
Real vanilla essence:  a bit more than a teaspoon
Plain flour:  approx. one and a half cups
Baking powder:  two teaspoons
Mixed spice:  one and a half teaspoons

Icing: one cup icing sugar, two tablespoons softened butter, one teaspoon real vanilla essence, a dash of fire-engine-red food colouring, mixed together until smooth.

Method:
1. Mix oils and sugar together until smooth.
2. Add eggs and mix well
3. Add kefir and vanilla and mix well
4. Sift dry ingredients in and mix until smooth (should be almost runny)
5. Spoon mixture into muffin tin prepared with olive oil to prevent sticking
6. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius until an inserted skewer comes out clean (20 to 25 minutes)
7. Allow to cool
8. Ice with pink vanilla butter icing

Try it and let me know what you think... do the measurement amounts need any adjustment?
YUMMY!!
