Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, orange juice, melted butter, eggs, orange zest, orange blossom water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the batter together using a spatula, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the muffins have cooled, lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Serve and enjoy your fragrant Orange Blossom Muffins!
