Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups buttermilk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 0.5 cups orange marmalade
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, orange marmalade, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a crunchy texture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are lovely on their own or with a dollop of extra orange marmalade for an added citrus kick.
