Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-light olive oil

3 eggs, at room temperature

140 gram tub apple puree

1/2 cup milk or gluten-free soy milk

2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

1 1/3 cup pure icing sugar

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 12-hole (1/3-cup) muffin pan with a little of the oil. Whisk remaining oil, eggs, apple puree, milk and half the zest in a bowl until combined. Sift 1/3 cup of the icing sugar over mixture; whisk until combined and smooth. Stir in carrot and seed mix until combined.

2.Sift flour and mixed spice over mixture; fold to combine. Be careful not to over-mix. Spoon mixture evenly into prepared tray. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted at centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

3.Sift remaining icing sugar into a bowl. Stir in remaining zest and enough juice to form a smooth paste. Spread icing over cooled muffins. Stand for 15 minutes to set. Serve.
