Tips:
- Use fresh blood oranges for the best flavor. If you can't find blood oranges, you can use regular oranges, but the muffins will not have the same vibrant color.
- Grate the orange zest finely. This will help to release the flavor of the orange into the muffins.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
