    1 Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line a 12-hole baking tin with paper muffin cases.

    2 With a mixer or in a large bowl mix spread and sugar, beating well until fluffy and combined.

    3 Alternately add eggs and flour until combined. Fold through remaining ingredients.

    4 Divide among cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and well risen.

    5 To make icing, in a small bowl sift icing sugar and add as much orange juice as is needed to form a glacè icing. Add zest and drizzle onto muffins once cooled.

    6 Store without icing in an airtight container or a resealable bag to keep for up to 2 days.

    Variations

    If you haven’t got any buttermilk, use the same amount of low-fat plain yoghurt instead.

    HFG tip

    Uniced muffins can be frozen for up to 1 month.
