Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Fan 160°C/Gas Mark 4 and line a 12-pocket muffin tin with cases.
- Put all of the dry ingredients, plus the clementine zest, into a large bowl and mix well.
- Combine all of the wet ingredients into a jug and beat together.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
