ORANGE & CARROT MUFFINS

Categories     Vegetable     Breakfast     Bake     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Muffin

Yield 12 to 18 Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Cup Quick Cooking Oats
1 Beaten Egg
1/3 C Melted Butter
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
2 Tablespoons Orange Juice (or 1 Tsp Orange Extract)
1 C Whole Wheat Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1 Cup Finely Grated Carrot
Grated rind of 1 Orange

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 and grease a muffin tin. Pour the buttermilk over the oats. Combine all the remaining dry ingredients, then combine all the remaining wet ingredients. Mix until just combined: batter will be lumpy. Fill tins 2/3 full and bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown. Batter can also be divided evenly between all 12 tins to make 12 larger muffins.

Tips:

  • Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the muffins to ensure they rise properly and evenly.
  • Use fresh oranges and carrots for the best flavor and texture. If using store-bought orange juice, choose 100% juice without added sugar.
  • Grate the carrots finely to ensure they blend well into the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
