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
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoons Orange zest
- 1 Large egg
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, orange juice, orange zest, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the ingredients 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 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 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. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
