Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoons Orange zest
- 1 cups Plain yogurt
- 0.5 cups Orange juice
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 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 it with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and orange zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar to release its oils for maximum flavor.
Add the yogurt, orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar and zest mixture. Whisk until everything is smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your light and citrusy Orange Yogurt Muffins!
