In a pot, bring water to a boil and cook broccoli florets for 7 to 10 minutes or until tender.
Drain and run under cold water.
Drain again.
Process in a food processor or with an electric mixer until puréed.
Preheat the oven to 350o F (180o C).
Grease a muffin pan or use a silicon mould.
In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the yoghurt, molasses and brown sugar.
Add the milk and broccoli purée.
Pour onto the dry ingredients and mix well to moisten everything.
Pour the muffin batter into the moulds ¾ full.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted into the centre of the muffin and removed cleanly.
