Ingredients

175g natural yogurt
2 British Blacktail Medium Eggs, beaten
100g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 unwaxed lemon, zest
½ tsp vanilla bean paste
175g Waitrose Duchy Organic Self-Raising Brown Flour
200g light brown soft sugar
50g ground almonds
2½ tbsp poppy seeds
1 tsp baking powder
275g strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
½ tsp fennel seeds

Method

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper muffin cases. In a jug, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, butter, lemon zest and vanilla paste.
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, ground almonds, poppy seeds, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gently stir the contents of the jug into the bowl, taking care not to overmix. Finally, gently fold in ¾ of the strawberries, reserving ¼ for the tops.
Divide the batter between the muffin cases, then sprinkle each with the remaining strawberries and a pinch of the fennel seeds. Bake for 25 minutes, or until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
