Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with squares of baking parchment, pushing them down to make little cases. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Whisk together the wet ingredients with the carrots then stir this into the dry ingredients, but don't overmix - it's better if it's a bit lumpy.
  2. Spoon into the muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes until risen.
Try

Unwaxed oranges

If you're using the zest, buy unwaxed oranges.

    Easy and quick to make. They turned out a bit like scones but were very tasty.

    Very fresh, great for breakfast, but I agree with Lisa, they were more like scones than muffins.

    These were tasty but I found them a little dry. Good with a cup of tea.

    I agree entirely - very tasty but not light enough to be a muffin.
