Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 medium oranges
1/4 c orange juice
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 c butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin (either a 12 hole regular size or a 6 hole large size) with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and ginger until well blended.
  • 3. Zest both oranges into flour mixture and mix well.
  • 4. After zesting, peel oranges (and seed, if necessary) and place in a blender with the orange juice. Blend oranges and juice on high for 30 seconds, or until oranges are pureed. Add egg and butter and blend on high again for 10 seconds.
  • 5. Add orange mixture to flour mixture and stir until dry ingredients are just moistened.
  • 6. Fill muffin cups 1/2 full. Bake for 18 - 22 minutes for regular muffins, 21 -26 minutes for large muffins, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • 7. Let cool for 5 minutes and remove from tin to a rack. If desired, drizzle with orange glaze. Combine 1 cup powdered sugar with enough orange juice to create a glaze that will drizzle over the muffins.

These muffins were just okay. I thought the orange flavor was a bit too strong. I also found them to be a bit dry. I probably won't make them again.

These muffins were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the batter. I'll try them again and be more careful next time.

These muffins were a delightful treat! The orange flavor was perfectly balanced, and the muffins were moist and fluffy. I added a bit of orange zest to the batter for an extra burst of citrus flavor, which I highly recommend.
