These easy, fragrant Angelica Muffins feature a subtle, earthy, and botanical flavour profile from both candied angelica stems and ground, dried, angelica root. This one-bowl recipe takes just 15 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake. They are ideal for breakfast or afternoon tea and pair wonderfully with citrus or herbal teas.

Ingredients:

250g plain (all-purpose) flour
100g granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground dried angelica root
2 large eggs
120ml natural yoghurt (or sour cream)
120ml neutral-flavoured vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g candied angelica, finely diced

Optional: finely-grated zest of 1 orange or lemon

Method:

Pre-heat your oven to 180C.

Line a 12-well muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground angelica root and ground cinnamon into a large bowl. Whisk in the sugar to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yoghurt, oil, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just moistened. Do not over-mix (or your muffins will be tough and will not rise).

Fold in the diced candied root and citrus zest if using.

Spoon the batter into the muffin wells, filling each about 2/3 full.

Transfer to the centre of your pre-heated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until lightly golden and springy to the touch (a toothpick inserted into the centre should emerges clean).

Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
