12 muffins
18 minutes
Ingredients
Muffin mix:
- 1 ½ cups self raising flour
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- ¼ cup caster sugar
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅔ cup milk
To decorate:
- 60g Icing sugar
- 60g Cream cheese
- Desiccated coconut
- 6 Pink marshmallows
- Pink shimmer sugar
- Edible eyes
- Choc chips
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 200 / 180 fan
- Adults: Melt the butter in a microwavable bowl. Leave to cool slightly to ensure it is safe for little hands
- Let your little bakers enjoy pouring the flour / baking powder / coconut and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Let them mix it well!
- Help them to carefully pour in the melted butter and milk.
- Mix until all the ingredients are combined.
- Ask your little chef to place paper cases in the muffin tray and then help them to spoon the mixture into all 12 cases.
- Pop into the oven for 18 minutes until golden and a cake tester / skewer comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, icing sugar and whisk well until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Using kitchen scissors, cut 6 marshmallows diagonally in half. Show your little helpers how to place the sticky side (inside) of the marshmallow onto a plate of pink shimmer sugar. These will form the bunny ears. Pinch them slightly at the top to make them more pointy!
- Pour some desiccated coconut into a wide bowl or plate.
- Once the cakes have cooled, let your little chefs drizzle the icing over the cake and then turn each one upside down and twist it gently onto the desiccated coconut.
- Then use a dab of icing on the bottom of the marshmallow ears to secure them to the cakes.
- Add the edible eyes and chocolate chip noses.
