Orange Muffins

Author Sarah Mir

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry or all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup melted butter or oil or combination of the two
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup orange juice
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • Two oranges zested
  • A few drops of orange oil or ¼ tsp almond extract or ¼ tsp lemon extract or ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a muffin tray with paper liners
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium-large bowl
  • Mix the wet ingredients together in a smaller bowl.
  • Combine the two deftly, do not over mix, batter should be just mixed. Small lumps are ok. 
  • Pour batter into cups and bake 13-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Serve with a dollop of marmalade for extra orangey goodness

Notes

Tip: If you thin out a little marmalade with water it makes for a wonderful glaze!
