  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground mixed spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 125 g (4.4oz) unsalted butter, melted
  • 60 g (2.1oz) caster sugar
  • 175 ml (6.2fl oz) milk
  • 1 pack natural cooked beetroot, grated coarsely
  • 2 pink lady apples, cored & grated coarsely
For the hazelnut topping
  • 75 g (2.6oz) self raising flour
  • 1 tsp ground mixed spice
  • 40 g (1.4oz) unsalted butter, cut into little cubes
  • 75 g (2.6oz) demerara sugar

Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder and spices into a large mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar and milk.
  3. Pour into the flour and mix very lightly - don’t worry if it looks lumpy. Finally, gently fold through the grated beetroot and apple and spoon into the muffin cases.
  4. To make the topping, stir the mixed spice trough the flour, then add the butter, sugar and nuts.
  5. Rub between finger and thumb until crumbly and well mixed. Sprinkle evenly over the muffins.
