ORANGE CORN BREAD MUFFINS

These are my favorite muffins. This is the basic recipe that I assembled one night when I didn't have milk and decided to experiment. One of those happy accidents. My family really loves them.

Provided by Judy Kaye

Categories     Savory Breads

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c yellow cornmeal
1 c unbleached white flour
1/2 c sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 egg , beaten
1 c orange juice
1/4 c oil
zest of 1 orange

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl combine first 4 ingredients. Add the last 3 ingredients and stir well. Fill muffin papers 2/3 full and place in 425' preheated oven for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 2. Additions: 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh oranges. If you only have access to store-bought orange juice, look for one that is 100% orange juice with no added sugar.
  • Grate the orange zest before juicing the orange. This will help to release the flavorful oils from the orange peel.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

These orange corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor. The orange zest and juice add a bright and citrusy flavor, while the cornmeal adds a bit of texture and sweetness. These muffins are also a good source of fiber and vitamins.
