Description

Moist and flavorful orange almond muffins made with fresh orange juice and ground almonds, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds (almond flour)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • Sliced almonds for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, orange juice, orange zest, and almond extract. Mix well.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and top with sliced almonds if using.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh orange juice for best flavor.
  • Substitute almond milk for dairy-free version.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
