Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol or Stevia blend)
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened orange juice
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Grated orange zest
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar substitute until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, grated orange zest, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth and well blended.
Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 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 about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these tangy orange juice muffins as a delicious diabetic-friendly treat! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
