Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

5 tbsp light rapeseed or sunflower oil , plus a little extra for greasing
300g self-raising flour
175g golden caster sugar
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp poppy seeds
200ml milk
1 large egg
zest 2 blood orange , juice 2.5
140g granulated sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin. Mix together the flour, caster sugar, baking powder and poppy seeds in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, egg, and zest and juice from 1 of the oranges.
Working very quickly, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and barely mix together with a fork - the mixture should be lumpy, so don't overwork it. Spoon the mixture into the tins and bake for 10-12 mins until risen and browned.
While the muffins are baking, mix the remaining zest with the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Have the remaining blood orange juice ready too.
Leave the muffins to cool for 2 mins, then transfer to a wire rack. Again working quickly, pour the juices into the sugar mix and spoon some over each muffin, repeating until it is all used up. Leave to set for 5 mins before eating.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe blood oranges. Look for oranges that are deep in color and feel heavy for their size.
If you don't have blood oranges, you can use regular oranges. Just add a bit of red food coloring to the batter to achieve the desired color.
To make sure your muffins are moist, don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For a delicious glaze, combine powdered sugar, blood orange juice, and poppy seeds. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.

Conclusion:

Blood orange poppy seed muffins are a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and have a beautiful pop of color. The glaze adds a touch of sweetness and crunch that takes these muffins over the top. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
