Apple, Sultana and oat cupcakes

We made these simple, relatively healthy cupcakes at a group we attend every week called Big Cook, Little Cook. The idea of the group is to get preschoolers and toddlers into cooking and baking. They go, prepare everything, make everything and even do the washing up afterwards! One of the best things about it is that it is encouraging Tommy to become more interesting in trying different foods. He has so much more enthusiasm for eating new things when he has made them himself.
