Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons orange zest
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and orange zest.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
If using chopped nuts, fold them into the batter gently.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Spiced Up Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
