Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C fan, Gas 6.
Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin paper cases.
In a large bowl, mix Allinson’s wholemeal plain flour, Billington’s unrefined golden caster sugar, baking powder, zest of 2 oranges and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and butter.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined and the mixture is quite stiff.
Lightly fold in the carrots and pineapple, being careful not to over mix, then spoon the mixture into the tins to fill the holes generously.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and pale golden.
Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Mix Billington’s unrefined golden icing cane sugar with the cream cheese and remaining orange zest until smooth and ice the top of the muffins before serving.
