Taste and Occasion
Of course, it tastes better when the orange yogurt muffins are made with freshly squeezed juice. In a pinch, you can also use the store-bought alternative. The foundation of the fluffy orange muffins is my easy basic muffin recipe (where you can also find many tips and tricks for muffin baking). You mix the dry and the wet baking ingredients together only very briefly. This - in combination with baking soda and tart yogurt - results in fruity muffins that are fluffy and moist, just like the lemon yogurt bundt cake. The result tastes like summer on a plate!
Ingredients
In addition to the juice, orange zest also results in a fruity note. If you like it even more intense, you can additionally soak the orange yogurt muffins with some orange juice after baking. Which, by the way, is also a good idea if the muffins are, for example, already a day old or perhaps a little too dry.
How to make the Orange Muffins
First of all, wash the orange with hot water, dry, and grate. Then squeeze and measure out 70 ml of juice. Preheat oven to 360°F/180°C. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl: Flour, baking powder, baking soda, orange zest, and sugar. In a second bowl, whisk the liquid ingredients: eggs, oil, 70 ml juice, and yogurt.
Then, add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones. Mix everything together briefly (!) but vigorously. Spoon dough into paper or silicone cups and place on a muffin tray. Bake muffins for 20-25 minutes and enjoy!
Top Tip
By the way, the muffins with orange can be wonderfully varied. For example, we also like to eat orange chocolate muffins. There are two ways to do this: First, you can refine the dough of the muffins with chocolate chips. On the other hand, a simple chocolate icing on the muffins also tastes good.
