1 cup Yoghurt ½ cup Dried cranberries ( I use fresh blueberries or other fruit ) ¾ cup Wholemeal flour ½ cup Plain flour ½ cup Bran flakes 1 tsp Baking soda 1 to dust Icing sugar 1 cup Muesli ½ cup Water, boiling ¼ cup Vegetable oil ¾ cup Brown sugar 1 Egg
• Place muesli in a bowl and pour over boiling water. Set aside for 30 minutes to soak and cool. • Beat together oil, sugar, egg and yoghurt. Stir in dried cranberries, then combine mixture with the cold, soaked muesli. • Stir in the flours, bran and baking soda. (At this stage the mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to one week.) • When ready to cook the muffins, heat the oven to 200 degC. Spray a 12-hole standard muffin tin with oil. • Spoon mixture into tins and bake for 20 minutes. Dust with icing sugar to serve

Baking? Why give them sugar for lunch? Sandwich, cheese, piece of fruit.

I would be very tempted to alter the name somewhat in case the kids get asked for an explanation of 'lactation' by their friends at school lol. They could be Vacation Cookies or Luxurious Cookies maybe? Of course if you want a word play you could call them Milky Bar Cookies but that might lead to having to explain why the ingredients don't contain Milky Bars . ;-) Maybe add some white chocolate chips.

my home baking has much less sugar then bought biscuits, cakes and slices and at least I know whats in them. Made choc chip, sultana, almond biscuits, muesli slice and a decadent choc cake for my birthday of which most was given away. Cake tins now nearly empty again after 3-4 weeks so will need to do more baking. Think will do a small batch of muffins, a slice and 1 or 2 types of biscuits. Will keep us going for a while. Oh and I use half the amount of sugar a recipe states.

Baking doesn't always involve sugar. In fact, I very rarely bake sweet things, mostly because I don't have a sweet tooth myself (poor deprived kids). I did make a courgette cake last week, and couldn't believe the amount of sugar that went into it (I actually said to myself 'this is why I don't bake sweet things). When I bake, it's usually savoury - today I'm going to bake some cheese scones for lunch boxes, along with some mini quiches (also for lunch boxes). In saying that, even if baking sweet things, at least you know what's in it (rather than unknown colours/preservatives etc). It's all about moderation really. I'm not anti sugar, because I believe in moderation, rather than abstinence.

One haha, but two men taking lunches aswell, and I like to freeze some too. I find if I don't bake in bulk I end up having to do more on Wednesday

Cookies that boost your milk supply when breastfeeding, choc full of chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts and seeds. The brewers yeast and linseed helps the milk supply. My family loves them so even if I wasn't breast feeding I would still make them
