Autumn is on Faces of Beauty today!
It must be orange season. Hence the 50 million oranges I have inside of my house whilst there’s 5 feet of snow on the ground.
OK, maybe it’s 5 oranges and 5 inches of snow on the ground. I’ve been sick…you can’t really expect too much from me in the truth department! Except when I tell you these muffins are heavenly and you should make them ASAP. Then you should run to your kitchen and start on them the minute you’re done reading.
I don’t love muffins, but there have been several mornings lately where a freshly baked muffin just hits the spot. And this is precisely one of those mornings.
ORANGE YOGURT MUFFINS
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 egg
- 4 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- juice and zest from 1 orange
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray. In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, egg, oil, vanilla, orange juice, orange zest, and sugar. Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. If you’d like to make a glaze, I made mine with 1 cup of powdered sugar and the juice of one orange.
The next step? What are you waiting for?! Eat immediately!
Seriously, muffins. They’re life-changers!
Those muffins look so light and fluffy…yum! Love the pic of the blood orange! I just tried one for the first time earlier this week and loved it!
I love the variety of your recipes…they are all fabulous!
Wow. I like. I made some orange muffins with pomegranate seeds earlier this year… this reminds me of them, except I need to steal your glorious glaze.
Yum! I have a new found love of oranges and they are so cheap! 🙂
But so good!
They look so light and airy. Yum 😀
Heather, these muffins look just heavenly! So moist and I bet so delicious. Thanks for sharing. I’m so glad to have found your blog and look forward to seeing more! 🙂 – Georgia
I used to have a recipe for lemon muffins and they were AWESOME! Orange muffins will be that much better! Love the glaze!
These are so pretty! I’ll bet the yogurt makes these incredibly moist.
I have 8# of oranges in my pantry I need to use up so this recipe comes at a perfect time. Thanks!
omg those look amazing!!!
Oooh these sound like the perfect way to wake up in the morning!
I love anything with a glaze on it! Especially an orange glaze.. These muffins look perfect for breakfast.
I’m sorry you’re still feeling under the weather – get well soon, girl!
I wish I could whip out treats like this when I wasn’t feeling well – the glaze looks lovely and I can just imagine how bright and light the orange makes these taste. Great job!
Yum! I love anything with a glaze. Mmmm. Hope you’re feeling better!
Umm yes please. I’m seriously in love with any dessert that is citrus flavored.
I could so make these. Weekend breakfast perhaps?
I am totally a muffin-person, and these look and sound amazing!
Yum! And, as always, beautiful pictures!!!
These sound awesome! Love the glaze.
Looks good and I am not even an orange fan 😉
I kind of love your first photo in this post!
These muffins look refreshing. Oranges remind me that spring is coming soon, despite all this snow we still have!
Yay! Glad you’re getting back into the swing of things — these muffins look awesome! I was thinking that I needed something else to do with all these oranges… because just eating them plain would obviously be too healthy 🙂
Looks delicious! The colors in that orange are gorgeous.
totally making these with greek yogurt and adding blueberries or cranberries. YUM!!
