Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 0.5 cups orange marmalade
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, orange marmalade, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a crunchy texture.
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 muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are lovely on their own or with a dollop of extra orange marmalade for an added citrus kick.
