Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients:

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Add orange juice, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Mix until fully incorporated.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:

  1. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure light and fluffy muffins.

Fill the Muffin Tin:

  1. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Bake:

  1. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool:

  1. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add-Ins: Mix in dried cranberries, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips for extra flavor.
  • Glaze Option: Drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice for added sweetness.
  • Whole Wheat Alternative: Replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
