Blueberry Orange Muffins


I like to make muffins with yoghurt because yoghurt muffins are moist. For a change today, I am using orange juice and olive oil. The ingredients, in my opinion, are rather healthy. As expected, these muffins are not as moist as those made with yoghurt, but my kids like them anyway. They smell really fruity and taste fruity too. I used 1/3 wholemeal flour, hence darker in colour as in the picture above.

Blueberry Orange Muffins (makes 12)

Dry Ingredients
275g plain flour
100g castor sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients
2 medium eggs
80ml extra virgin olive oil
180ml smooth orange juice
Zest of 1 orange

Toppings
150g blueberries

Method
1. Preheat oven to 190 Degree Celsius.

2. Whisk all wet ingredients in a bowl.

3. Combine all dry ingredients in another bowl. Mix well.

4. Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture. Pour the wet mixture and mix to combine until no trace of flour. Do not over mix.  

5. Fold in the blueberries and fill muffin liners to 2/3 full. You can sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top if you like. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until risen and crusty.

6. Cool on a rack.
