Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Fan 160°C/Gas Mark 4 and line a 12-pocket muffin tin with cases.
  2. Put all of the dry ingredients, plus the clementine zest, into a large bowl and mix well.
  3. Combine all of the wet ingredients into a jug and beat together.
  4. Very carefully pour the wet ingredients onto the dry and stir gently until just combined. You want the mixture to be lumpy and loose, so add a drop more milk if needed.
  5. Use an ice-cream scoop to dollop the mixture into each of the muffin cases. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the muffins are golden.
  6. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then turn out onto a wire tray to cool completely. Store in a cake tin for up to a week.
