Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.5 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, orange juice, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully mixed and smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 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. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
