Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups Sugar
• 0.5 cups Hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
• 1 tablespoons Orange zest
• 0.5 cups Orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and orange zest, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, combine the orange juice, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients together until smooth.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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 allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
