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.
