Orange Poppy Seed Muffins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°c). Line a 12 cavity muffin pan with paper liners, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the self rising flour, sugar and poppy seeds. Stir until well combined.
    2 cups self rising flour (regular or gluten-free measure-for-measure flour blend),1 cup granulated sugar,2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • To another mixing bowl add the milk, oil, orange juice, egg, vanilla extract and orange zest. Mix until well combined.
    1 cup whole milk,1/2 cup canola oil,1/4 cup orange juice,1 large egg,1 teaspoon vanilla extract,zest from 1 orange
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cavities (they will each be almost full to the top).

    Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are turning golden and cooked through.

  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the muffin tin before transferring to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
  • TO MAKE THE GLAZE: add the powdered sugar to a small bowl. Stir in 1.5 tablespoons of orange juice. You’ll need just enough juice to make a glaze of drizzling consistency (you may need to use more or less than the 1.5 tablespoon of juice).
    1/2 cup powdered sugar,1.5 tablespoons orange juice
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins. Allow to set for a few minutes before serving.
