Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 160°C and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Set to one side.
- In a large bowl sift together the flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir through the almond meal, caster sugar, and dried fruit.
- In a separate bowl or jug, combine the yoghurt, vegetable oil, Saunders' Malt Extract and eggs. Whisk to combine.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined - don't over mix or you'll end up with tough muffins! This mixture is not runny, so don't worry if it seems thick.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the liners of your prepared tin. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, turning half way, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of your muffins comes out clean.
- Glaze your muffins while they're still hot. Add the brown sugar, Saunders' Malt Extract and water to a small saucepan and heat over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Use a silicone brush to glaze the tops of your muffins. Allow to cool completely.
- For the cross, combine the icing sugar and water, and use a spoon to drizzle the icing in a cross shape on top of your muffin.
- Makes 12 muffins or 18 cupcake sized muffins. Store in an airtight
container for 3 days.
