Orange muffins are a delightful treat that can brighten up any day with their vibrant flavor and aroma. The scent of orange can have uplifting effects on mood. Studies have shown that citrus scents, including orange, can promote a sense of happiness and reduce stress, making baking (and enjoying) orange muffins a perfect activity for boosting your spirits.

Customization Options

You can add fillings of your choice to these orange muffins, such as cranberries or other berries, nuts, raisins, candied fruits, or chocolate chips.

If you’re making egg-free orange muffins with fresh berries, add the berries to the batter as you spoon it into the molds: fill the molds one-third full with batter, add the berries, and then fill the molds another one-third full. This helps prevent the berries from releasing juice and staining the batter when mixed. Though in some cases, this effect can look nice, for example, with blueberries or black currants, the batter may turn a greenish tint.

You can use either freshly squeezed or store-bought orange juice.
