This is one of Nigella’s recipes [via Nigella.com] but I have made it into muffins.

Clementine Muffins

Ingredients

4-5 clementines (about 375g total weight)
6 eggs
225g sugar
250g ground almonds
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder

Method

  1. Put the clementines in a pan with some cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 2 hours. Drain and, when cool, cut each clementine in half and remove the pips.

  2. Dump the clementines - skins, pith, fruit and all - and give a quick blitz. Then tip in all the remaining ingredients and pulse to a pulp.
  3. Preheat the oven to gas mark 5/190ºC. Prepare a muffin tin, either with paper cups or by greasing.
  4. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin (it should make about 12) and bake for about 20 minutes, but check after
  5. When a skewer will come out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, on a rack, but in the tin. When the muffins’ are cold, you can take it them out of the tin.
