Orange Mini Muffins

By Joelene

If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon white vinegar to just under 1 cup of milk.

Ingredients

• Nonstick spray, for spraying muffin tins
• 2 sticks salted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 oranges, zested and juiced
• 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray mini muffin tins with nonstick spray.

Cream together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl by hand or using an electric mixer. Add the eggs and beat well. Mix in the flour. In a separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter along with the orange zest and mix well.

Fill the muffin tins two-thirds full with the batter and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 17 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and orange juice (you should have about 1/2 cup juice) and mix well. Drizzle this glaze over the warm muffins in the tins. Remove the muffins while still warm.
