Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Orange zest
- 100 ml Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 100 ml Milk
- 75 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, and orange zest. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the orange juice, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or a wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but evenly combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
