Ingredients

For the muffins:-

  • 200 g self-raising flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 75 g caster sugar
  • 40 g ground almonds
  • 90 g glace cherries chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 50 ml sunflower oil
  • 2 tablespoon no fat yogurt

For the topping:-

  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 12 glace cherries for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C (Fan) and line a 12 hole cupcake / muffin tin with paper cases.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and baking powder, then add the sugar, ground almonds and chopped glace cherries.
  • In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, oil and yogurt together.
  • Using a plastic spatula gradually fold the wet egg mixture into the dry flour mixture to make a batter.
  • Spoon the mixture equally between the 12 paper cases.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the muffins have risen and are golden brown. Check they are fully cooked inside by inserting a tooth pick into one and ensuring it comes out clean.
  • Transfer the muffins onto a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
  • Once cooled sift the icing sugar into a bowl and mix it with the lemon juice.
  • Top each muffin with approximately Β½ tsp. icing and a glace cherry and allow the icing to set.
