Ingredients

175g plain flour
25g porridge oats, plus bit extra for sprinkling at end
175g soft brown sugar, light
1 tsp baking powder
half tsp bicarb. of soda
zest and juice of 1 orange
1 tbsp sunflower oil
150g plain yogurt
1 large egg
9 tsp Just Preserves Marmalade

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 and line a muffin tin with 9 paper cases. 
2. Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and bicarb in a bowl. Whisk the orange zest and juice, oil, yogurt and egg together with a fork, then lightly stir the 2 mixtures together until just combined.
3. Spoon 1 tbsp of the mixture into each muffin case, top with 1 tsp of Just Preserves (I used thin cut) marmalade, then cover with the remaining muffin mix and a sprinkling of oats. 
4. Bake for approx. 20 mins until cooked through (stick a knife in, if it comes out clean with no mixture on it then they're done).

These are not too sweet but are still a great treat!
