Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Orange zest
- 0.5 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoons Orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, combine the orange juice, whole milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Using a small spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the muffins are cooled, drizzle the glaze over the tops. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Serve and enjoy your mini orange muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
