INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

  • They provide structure and make the fluffy texture of the muffins. We beat eggs with sugar to make the muffins rise. You may utilize an egg replacer, but the texture will be slightly different.

WHITE SUGAR:

  • Sugar adds sweetness and keeps the muffins tender. We sprinkle some sugar on top of the muffins to make the crisp texture. Include Caster sugar as another option.

NEUTRAL VEGETABLE OIL:

  • Oil keeps the muffins soft and moist after cooling. You may use sunflower oil as a substitute.

ORANGE JUICE:

  • This juice gives the main orange taste and moisture to the batter. Orange juice adds fresh citrus aroma to the muffins. You may use bottled orange juice as another idea.

ALL-PURPOSE WHEAT FLOUR:

  • Flour gives the main structure to the muffins and combines easily with the baking powder. Include whole-wheat pastry flour if all-purpose flour is not available.
