Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
  2. Put the flour, baking powder, sugar and poppy seeds in a large bowl with a pinch of salt and mix together. Whisk the remaining ingredients together and pour into the bowl.
  3. Mix together quickly (don't over mix, you want it a bit lumpy). Divide between the paper cases and bake for 25-30 minutes until risen and golden.

    Goes well with ginger lemon tea but would need some more of clementine juice to give a boost in taste. Lovely and Christmasy but nothing outrageous :)

    Really lovely recipe. Muffins turned out very soft and light. I do agree with my fellow goodfooder above in that perhaps adding a bit more zest would enhance the clementine flavor. I found drinking tea with them drowned out the lovely delicate flavor of the muffins.

    really good - made it into a cake in a loaf tin too. the clementine flavour is just a little too subtle though for my liking!

    I made these last night and they turned out brilliantly. The recipe was very easy and I took on the comments about extra flavour and added more clementine zest and juice. Would thoroughly recommend.

    Made these in fairy cake cases instead of muffin cases, and baked for 18 mins. Really light little cakes. Wish I would have read the comments before baking as you could barely tell there was any clementine in there - would probably up the zest and juice by two more clementines.
