Orange Poppy Seed Muffins

I’m all about orange in January.  Orange season perks me up on chilly days.  Orange you glad I have a new muffin recipe for you ;).

Enjoy!

This recipe yields about 1 1/2 dozen regular sized muffins or about 35 mini muffins.

Shopping List

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs
3 tablespoons orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line 2 (12 count) muffin tins with cupcake liners or lightly spray mini muffin tins (this would make about 35 mini muffins). Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat with an electric mixer the sugar, vegetable oil and eggs.  Next, beat in your zest and juice.  Stir in your poppy seeds.  Set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda with a fork or whisk.

Slowly beat the flour mixture into the sugar mixture.  Beat until just combined.  

Divide batter between your muffin tins.

Bake muffins 14 to 16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  If you’re using mini muffin tins, bake about 8 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Easy as can be!  A great little breakfast or snack for your January.
