Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Millet flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Raisins
• 1 tablespoons Orange zest
• 0.5 cups Orange juice
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 pieces Large egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the millet flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, raisins, and orange zest to the dry ingredients. Mix to coat the raisins and zest evenly in the flour mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Millet Orange Raisin Muffins as a nutritious snack or breakfast treat!
