ORANGE PECAN MUFFINS



ORANGE PECAN MUFFINS image

Categories     Bread     Nut     Breakfast     Bake     High Fiber     Healthy

Yield 18 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

2-1/2 cups unbleached flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup raw wheat germ
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup orange juice
1 egg beaten
1/3 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, sugar, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Add orange juice, egg and oil. Mix until just moistened. Do not over mix. Stir in pecans. Grease muffin tins or use paper liners. Bake approximately 25 min.

Tips:

  • For a zesty and flavorful muffin, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest. It will enhance the overall taste and aroma of the muffins.
  • To achieve a moist and fluffy texture, ensure that the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with sugar. This will allow the butter to incorporate more air, resulting in a lighter and airier muffin.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the muffins tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a golden brown and crispy top, sprinkle a mixture of sugar and chopped pecans on top of the muffins before baking. This will add a delightful crunch and sweetness to each bite.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, thaw the frozen muffins overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours.

Conclusion:

Orange pecan muffins are a delightful treat that combines the vibrant flavors of orange and the nutty crunch of pecans. With their moist and fluffy texture, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon snack. Using fresh ingredients and following the tips mentioned above, you can create a batch of delicious orange pecan muffins that will be enjoyed by all.
