Orange Fluffy Muffins

Orange fluffy muffins are a delightful citrus-infused treat that is light, fluffy, and bursting with orange flavor. Here's a recipe to make these delicious muffins:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• Zest of 1 orange
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, eggs, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter has a few lumps.
5. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
6. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for approximately 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Optional: Dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and decoration.
9. Serve the orange fluffy muffins at room temperature.

These orange fluffy muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack any time of the day. The citrusy flavor adds a refreshing twist to traditional muffins, making them a delightful treat for citrus lovers. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee for a complete indulgence.
