Description
These moist, citrus-packed orange muffins deliver sunshine in every bite. Made with fresh juice and zest, they’re perfect for breakfast, snacks, or make-ahead meals.
Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
1 large egg
⅓ cup avocado oil
½ cup fresh orange juice
1 tbsp orange zest
½ tsp pure vanilla powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare your muffin tray with liners.
In a bowl, sift together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk egg, oil, orange juice, vanilla, and orange zest.
Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
Scoop mixture evenly into muffin tins, filling ¾ full.
Bake for 18–20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool 5 minutes in pan, then cool completely on a rack. Serve or store.
Notes
For stronger orange flavor, let zest sit in sugar 5 minutes before mixing.
Freeze baked muffins for up to 2 months in airtight containers.
Substitute egg with flax egg for vegan version.
