For the crumble: 100g Plain flour.

50g (1/4 cup) brown or demerara sugar.

50g (3tbsp + 1 tsp) dairy-free margarine.

For the sponge.

4 cups self-raising flour.

½ cup ground almonds.

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda.

1 tsp baking powder.

1 ¼ cups caster sugar.

Scant 2 cups (500ml).

Soya or rice milk.

320 ml light rapeseed or other flavorless oil, 2 tsp vanilla extract.

½ tsp almond extract or flavoring (optical).

100g (about 60) whole blueberries.

Handful of flaked almonds (optional).

Preheat oven to 180 degree C and line your muffins trays with cases.

To make the crumble, mix the flour, sugar and margarine together in a bowl using a spoon or your hands until you have a lumpy crumble.

Set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, ground almonds, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and caste sugar.

Add the milk, oil, vanilla and almond extracts and, using a metal spoon, quickly mix everything together for about 10 seconds until the ingredients are just combined. Don’t mix the batter too much, it should still be a bit lumpy. Spoon the batter evenly into your muffin cases and drop the same amount of blueberries on to each muffin (about 5 for each very large muffin or 3 for each medium-sized one.)

The blueberries will sink into the batter when baking. Sprinkle each muffin with the crumble. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Cool in the muffin trays on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then transfer the muffins in their cases to the rack to cool completely.
