Cherry Bakewell Muffins

 These turned out well.


•              130 g ground almonds

              200 g gluten free self raising flour

              100 g golden caster sugar

              1 teaspoon baking powder

              2 medium eggs

              250 ml milk plus 1 tsp almond flavouring

              50 ml vegetable oil

              150 g glace cherries (plus extra for topping)

              120 g grated marzipan

              100 g icing sugar

Instructions

1.            Pre heat your oven to 180°C and add 12 muffin cases to a 12 hole muffin tin tray.

2.            In a large bowl combine your ground almonds, golden caster sugar, self raising flour and baking powder.

3.            In a separate bowl whisk together your eggs and non dairy milk. Gradually pour this wet mixture into your dry ingredients and then add your vegetable oil and mix well.

4.            Grate your marzipan into the mixture and fold in your chopped cherries (leaving around 6 for decoration).

5.            Pour the mixture into your muffin cases (around 3/4 full) and bake in the oven for around 20 minutes (until golden brown and an inserted skewer comes out clean).

6.            Leave to cool. Once cool mix your icing sugar with water and drizzle over your muffins. Add your remaining chopped glace cherries to decorate.
