Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups honey
• 0.5 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

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 flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, orange juice, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully mixed and smooth.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
