1 tsp baking powder
0.25 tsp salt
1 tbsp poppy seeds
140g caster sugar
1 large egg
115g full fat yoghurt
115ml sunflower oil

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 orange, zest
For the icing
100g icing sugar

Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/Gas Mark 5. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds and sugar.
In a jug, whisk the egg, yoghurt, oil, milk, vanilla and orange zest, until just combined.
Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops feel springy to the touch. Allow to cool.
Place the icing sugar in a bowl and slowly add enough orange juice to create a runny icing. Drizzle over the tops of the muffins and serve.
