These delightful blueberry and orange muffins are a perfect combination of sweetness and tang, embodying the spirit of the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)
- Zest and juice of 1 fresh orange
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
- 1 cup milk (whole or non-dairy)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with muffin cups.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk to break up any lumps.
- In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, milk, orange zest, and juice.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Fold in blueberries gently to keep them intact.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use non-dairy milk. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days or frozen for three months.
