This time our team came up with an unusual recipe, quick, simple and worth trying: orange muffins! Vegetarian and made without butter.
Ingredients for 15 muffins
- 150 ml of juice from Washington oranges
- grated peel of 2 oranges
- 1 egg
- 50 ml of extra virgin olive oil
- 140 g of sugar
- 200 g of plain flour (type 00)
- 8 g of baking powder
- a pinch of salt
Method
Prepare the wet and the dry ingredients separately, then combine them.
Grate the peel of the oranges, then squeeze them to get about 150 ml of juice. Beat the egg with the orange juice and the oil until smooth.
In a bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, the pinch of salt and the orange peel, then stir in the wet ingredients.
Pour the batter into the muffin cups without filling them too much and bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C.
A little trick
Before baking, you can add a teaspoon of jam to the centre of some muffins: we used our pear jam. Guaranteed result!
