Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh oranges. If you don't have fresh oranges on hand, you can use orange juice concentrate, but be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- If you want a sweeter muffin, you can add more sugar to the batter. You can also add a glaze or frosting to the muffins after they have cooled.
- These muffins can be made ahead of time and frozen. To freeze, place the cooled muffins in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the muffins overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours.
Conclusion:
These orange muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist, flavorful, and have a wonderful citrus flavor. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
