Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready to use. This will make the baking process smoother and prevent any scrambling.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can substitute orange juice, but the flavor will be slightly less vibrant.
  • Zest the Oranges: Use a microplane zester or a fine grater to zest the oranges. This will release the flavorful oils from the orange peel, giving your muffins a delightful citrus aroma.
  • Measure the Flour Correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour. Alternatively, fluff the flour with a spoon before scooping it into the measuring cup.
  • Mix the Batter Properly: Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the Muffin Tins Evenly: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to ensure consistent muffin sizes.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before baking the muffins. An accurate oven temperature is crucial for even baking.
