Why You'll Love These Muffins

  • Naturally sweet and tangy thanks to marmalade
  • Quick to make with pantry ingredients
  • Perfectly soft, moist texture
  • Great for make-ahead breakfasts and freezing

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • ½ cup orange marmalade (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 orange

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, vanilla extract, orange zest, and marmalade until smooth.

  4. Combine & Stir:
    Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Fill Muffin Cups:
    Spoon the batter evenly into muffin cups (about ¾ full). Optional: top each with ½ tsp of extra marmalade.

  6. Bake:
    Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool & Serve:
    Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or room temperature.

Tips for Success

  • Don’t overmix the batter—it keeps the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Use chunky marmalade for a burst of orange peel in every bite.
  • Sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar or slivered almonds on top for extra texture.
  • Want a richer flavor? Swap milk with buttermilk or orange juice.

Storage & Freezing

  • Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.

FAQs

Can I use another jam instead of marmalade?
Yes! Apricot or lemon curd also work well, but you’ll lose that distinctive orange zing.

How do I make them dairy-free?
Use almond or oat milk and replace butter with oil.
