Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for these muffins. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice concentrate, but be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost to the top. This will help the muffins rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Orange bran muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Be sure to experiment with different orange varieties and add-ins to find your perfect combination.
