I am not a huge fan of very sweet muffins. These tick all the boxes for me on a Sunday morning – the muffin version of marmalade on toast.

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees/gas 3.

Mix the eggs, sugar, marmalade, yoghurt, orange rind and oil in a bowl. Sift in the flour, baking powder and polenta and stir to make a batter.

Spoon the mixture into pre-prepared muffin cases. Bake for 20 minutes until they are well risen and golden.

Remove from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.

In a small saucepan dissolve the sugar in the orange juice with the marmalade. Drizzle over the muffins.
