Orange Pepita Cupcakes

This recipe is based on the one found on the Mixing it Up HK website (Thanks for the link Mim), which was a Citrus Poppyseed Muffin. I was lacking a couple of ingredients so here is my version, which I have also reduced the amount of sugar in (but definitely try out the original as well)




1 whole apple 
1 whole orange
2 large eggs
30g coconut oil, melted if solid 
50g natural yoghurt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarb
120g white spelt flour
120g wholemeal bakers flour
70g rapadura
Handful of pepitas

1. Preheat oven to 170°C and grease 12 cake cake/muffin tin


2. Remove core and quarter one apple. Add to the TMX bowl and chop
10 secs/Speed 4
Scrape down the sides.


3. Add 20g water and cook 8 mins/100°C/Speed 1. MC lid off 

4. Cut a whole (incl skin) orange into quarters. Remove white pith and any obvious pips. Add to the TMX bowl and blend Speed 7/10 secs

5. Add the eggs, coconut oil and natural yoghurt and Mix Speed 8/10 seconds until well combined. 

6. Add baking powder, bicarb, flours, rapadura and pumpkin seeds and mix 8 secs/Rev/Speed 4 until mixture just comes together. Do not over-mix.

7. Spoon mixture into prepared cake tin and place in preheated oven to bake for about 12-15 mins  

8. Once cooled a little, I topped each cake with a dollop of natural yoghurt
