Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate mixed with 1/2 cup of water.
  • Make sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will help prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
