Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 units large eggs
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 120 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 15 grams powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, olive oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins.
Step 5
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
If desired, dust the muffins with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
