Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 egg, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a rubber spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Evenly divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey!
