Background

Over the years, I have tried out many orange muffin recipes. Most were yummy, but these orange muffins are especially moist and not too sweet. They are dairy-free and can be nut-free too, if you make them with the sugar-crust topping and raisins. These muffins are perfect for afternoon tea or morning coffee break during the winter months!

Ingredients

2 cups of flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
2 Tbsp grated orange peel
⅔ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
½ cup melted margarine, oil or butter
2 small eggs (or 1 large)
½ cup raisins (optional)
½ cup chopped almonds (optional)
For the toppings:
Almond flakes
or 1 Tbsp melted butter/margarine mixed with ½ tsp cinnamon and 3 Tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175°C.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In another bowl combine the egg, oil, orange juice and zest.
Combine the two bowls together and mix well. Carefully fold in the raisins and/or almonds.
Transfer the batter to silicon moulds or a muffin tin lined with paper baskets.
Sprinkle the almond flakes on top or brush with the sticky cinnamon sugar.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Cool them on a wire rack.
