Plum Muffins Recipe

Make the most of British plums in season with these easy plum muffins, a simple bake packed with warm cinnamon and the perfect soft, fluffy texture. Soured cream keeps the crumb tender, while Mellow Yellow cold pressed rapeseed oil gives each muffin a gorgeous golden finish and beautifully light bite.
We like to chop half the plums and fold them through the batter before topping with slices. Enjoy these light, fluffy plum muffins with a cup of tea in the sunshine – the ideal mid‑afternoon treat.
