1 cup sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup fresh orange juice, at room temperature
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature

GIADA'S OLIVE OIL MUFFINS

Saw this on the Food Network and was really curious to try these. Who would've thought to use olive oil for something sweet? According to reviewers you can interchangably sub lemon/orange juices for the zests if you don't have them; all I got is just dried orange peels. I made a few changes to the original-- you can use any kind of milk to get that muffin lustre but I use soy milk. Originally called for 4 large eggs, I use only the whites. I also might try these with wheat flour or a mix of white and wheat flours.

Tips:

  • Make sure the eggs and milk are at room temperature before mixing them together.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only two-thirds full, as the muffins will rise during baking.

  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
