  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.

  I found these were better the next day - fresh out of the oven they tasted of nothing much, but the citrus flavour was rather more definite after resting over night. They would be better still with more juice and zest, though, and I wish I could have seen the above comments before making the muffins for the first time. I have had a request to make them again, though, so I'll try that next time.

  I tried this recipe with 1 large pink grapefruit substituting the clementines, using all the zest and juice. Delicious results!

  I took the advice above regarding adding more zest, but be careful, if using a grater to zest that you don't grate too much of the layer just below the skin, makes them very bitter!

  I did a sneaky swap here as I didn't have clementines. I used two oranges instead. I used a little less yogurt and a little more butter. As well as that, I separated the egg yolk and white and whipped the white up into stiff peeks before gently folding in at the end. When they had (almost) cooled I sprinkled icing sugar mixed with spices over the top, through a sieve. They taste really good - about to take them to a cake party on the beach.

  I haven't made this yet, but I am just wondering: how do you juice clementines? I'm imagining putting each de-pithed segment into a garlic press and squooshing it through that...

  I made these last night and they were disgusting! They turned out very rubbery which usually happens when I use yoghurt of Creme fraiche in a cake. I will try again but am Definitely going to leave out the yoghurt!
