Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh carrots and oranges provide the best flavor and texture to your muffins.
- Grate your carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Zest your orange before juicing it: The zest adds a bright citrus flavor to the muffins.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill your muffin cups evenly: This will help ensure that all of the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
