Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest (from one medium orange)
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Line a 12-inch muffin baking tin with paper cupcake liners (or spray lightly with cooking spray).
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together both flours, baking powder, and poppy seeds.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, yogurt, oil, orange zest, and orange-juice concentrate.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry, just enough to combine. The batter will be very thick.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups with a tablespoon, filling each about two-thirds. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out dry.
  • Cool on a wire rack.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1/4 cup poppy seed
1/3 caster sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
130 g butter
2/3 cup orange marmalade
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 orange
1/4 cup orange marmalade, for glazing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C Line muffin tin with paper cases.
  • Melt butter and orange marmalade in microwave.
  • In large mixing bowl mix flour, poppy seeds, sugar, orange zest.
  • In medium bowl whisk milk, eggs pour into flour mix. Add melted butter-marmalade.
  • Stir with spoon until just combined.
  • Do not over mix - batter should still be lumpy.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into muffin tray. Fill 3/4 full. Place 1/2 slice of fresh orange on the top.
  • Bake for 25 minute until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Leave them to cool brush with melted orange marmalade.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. Room-temperature ingredients blend better and create a smoother batter.
  • Use fresh poppy seeds for optimal flavor and texture. Poppy seeds can lose their flavor over time, so use them as soon as possible after purchasing.
  • Zest the orange directly into the sugar to capture the vibrant citrus flavor. Avoid using pre-packaged orange zest, which may contain additives and preservatives.
  • Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the wet ingredients. This helps prevent lumps in the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in dry muffins.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These zesty poppy seed orange muffins are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of poppy seeds, orange, and hint of citrus. With their moist and tender crumb, they are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is easy to follow and yields delicious results. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary adventure that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Happy baking!
