Orange Muffins

Orange Muffins

Orange Muffins are like a little ray of sunshine in the middle of winter! These moist muffins are made with Greek yogurt, fresh orange juice and zest. They can be eaten warm, right from the oven with or without butter. If you really want to kick up the orange flavor and make them look extra pretty, let them cool and add the orange glaze. It is sweet and tangy with shreds of zest that make it colorful.

These muffins can be made at any time of the year but if you make them during citrus season you will find a more interesting variety of oranges available in the markets. Try to find some Cara Cara oranges which have a slightly pink darker flesh and sweet juice, or some Blood Oranges which would  make the muffins and glaze really colorful.

If you see some great oranges at the market, buy a few extra and make an Orange Olive Oil Cake ,Orange Flan, Blood Orange Panna Cotta, Orange Brioche French Toast, Orange Olive Oil Donuts, Orange Ricotta Cake, Orange Beet Salad, Orange Ricotta Cookies,  and Blueberry Orange Yogurt Cake.

SOME THINGS TO KNOW:

  • Orange muffins will be the best served on the day that you bake them.
  • You can keep these covered for 1 day.
  • Orange Muffins can be frozen either with or without the glaze for 2-3 months. Place them into a baking sheet and put them into the freezer. One frozen, place them into an airtight freezer container.
  • Defrost the muffins by placing them onto a wire rack. They will defrost in about an hour’s time.
  • If you want a good addition for the fall check out Cranberry Orange Muffins.
  • Oranges will stay fresh in the crisper of the refrigerator for a month or longer.
