Ingredients

- 1 large egg, beaten
- 100ml vegetable oil
- 125ml milk
- 150ml natural yogurt

Step by step
Get ahead
The muffins will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container or freeze for up to 2 months
- Preheat the oven to gas 6. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Stir the flour, bicarbonate of soda, spices and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, then make a well in the centre.
- Beat the egg, oil, milk and yogurt together well. Add to the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined, but without overworking – the mixture should still look slightly lumpy. Quickly stir in the ginger chunks and about 75g of the fudge.
- Spoon into the muffin cases, then bake for about 25 minutes or until risen and firm. Cool on a wire rack.
- Mix the icing sugar with the ginger syrup, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water to give a thick pouring consistency. Drizzle over the muffins and scatter with the ginger and fudge pieces.
