Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Zest it up: Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the muffins.
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost full: This will help the muffins rise properly.
  • Don't overbake: Overbaking will make the muffins dry. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These orange yogurt muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're packed with orange flavor and have a moist, tender crumb. The yogurt in the batter makes them extra moist and fluffy. These muffins are also a good source of fiber and vitamin C. Enjoy!
