Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoons Orange zest
• 1 cups Plain yogurt
• 0.5 cups Orange juice
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 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 it with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and orange zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar to release its oils for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Add the yogurt, orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar and zest mixture. Whisk until everything is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your light and citrusy Orange Yogurt Muffins!
