Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • 12 Patty pans (cupcake liners)
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Heat proof jug
  • 1 Mini whisk
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 2 Dessert spoons

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cornflakes
  • 3 tablespoon golden syrup
  • cup brown sugar
  • 120 grams butter Note 1
  • ½ cup peanuts optional
  • ¼ cup sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350-375°F / Gas Mark 4-5.
  • Line a 12 hole muffin tin with patty papers. Note 2
  • Add cornflakes to large mixing bowl.
  • Add brown sugar, golden syrup and butter to heatproof jug. Microwave for 2 minutes and use a mini whisk to combine.
  • Pour melted butter, sugar mixture over cornflakes and use wooden spoon to stir and combine.
  • Add peanuts and sprinkles and stir again to combine.
  • Use 2 dessert spoons portion the mixture evenly across the 12 lined muffin holes.
  • Place the cornflake cakes into the oven on the middle rack and bake for 10 mins.
  • Use oven mits to remove when cooked, place on wire rack and allow to cool for 2- 3 mins. Note 3

Notes

  • Note 1 You will find the butter easier to work with if you chop it into small cubes before melting. It will also melt faster this way.
  • Note 2 You will find both patty papers (cupcake liners) with a standard size and 1-2 inch height. You will also find muffin tin liners with high points which are not a standard height all around. It is recommended to use the standard patty papers (cupcake liners) as the mixture is sticky and needs to be spooned in without obstruction. It is not recommended to not use liners as the cakes would stick to the tin. 
  • Note 3 You may notice if you squeeze the sides of the cornflake cakes together once they are baked, that they are not firm and crispy. They will firm up once removed from the oven and set (hard) as they cool.
