Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4).

Put 6 paper cases into a muffin tray.

Mix together the 3 types of flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, chia seeds, and sugar in a bowl with a balloon whisk.

Whisk the yogurt with the milk, agave syrup, oil and mandarin oil (if using) in another bowl.

Stir in the mandarin juice and zest.

Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and combine everything with a spoon, just until all the ingredients are combined and you have a smooth mixture.

Distribute the mixture between the muffin cases so that they are each around two-thirds full.

Bake the muffins in the centre of the oven for around 25 minutes until golden.

Insert a wooden skewer: if no mixture sticks to it, the muffins are done. Otherwise, continue to cook for a couple of minutes more, then test again.

Lift the muffins in their cases out of the tray and leave to cool on a wire rack.
