Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges will give your muffins the best flavor. If you only have access to store-bought orange juice, be sure to use 100% orange juice and add a little bit of orange zest for extra flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill the muffin cups evenly so that all of the muffins are the same size and bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before enjoying: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before you enjoy them. This will help them to set and will make them easier to handle.
