I have been waiting for apple season to post this recipe. It is, like all the Muesli Bar Challenge recipes, fast and easy enough to knock up on a weeknight, and low fat, low sugar, low GI enough to belong in everyday school or work lunch boxes.
This recipe is in my handwritten book as Wwoofer’s Zuke Bread because the original came to me from a wwoofer years ago. It’s evolved a bit since then, and I’ve turned it into a muffin to make it more suitable for lunch boxes.
Our northern apricots don’t compare with the golden, aromatic, dripping with juice things I remember from Tasmania.
This is an adaption of an adaption of a traditional Italian recipe.
This one is invented by my sister.
Mulberries are right in season up here, and like most foods with that deep colour, they’re full of antioxidants and phyto-nutrients.
These little tarts use a strong egg custard to encase the mulberries and give them enough lunch box stamina.
