Orange Muffins

August 27, 2014 23 Comments

This might – quite possibly – be the best muffin recipe I ever created. Yes. It. Is. THAT. Good. Call them gâteau à l’orange or Orange Muffins (we use both depending on which anglophone/francophone is speaking).  Moist, flavourful, and easy – you will want to make these Orange Muffins with your kids…

Orange Muffins

Aside: make your own natural air freshener by reusing the orange peels from the oranges in this recipe! Simply simmer orange peels, cloves, and water on your stove top. It’s eco-friendly, easy, and smells so good!

Orange Muffins
Recipe Type: Snack
Cuisine: Canadian
Author: Parent Club
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 35 mins
Total time: 50 mins
Serves: 18
These are the BEST muffins. Orange muffins are easy, yummy, and oh so full of orange flavour. You will want to make these with your kids!
Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 oil
  • freshly pressed juice of 2 large naval oranges
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350C.
  2. In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
  3. Juice 2 large naval oranges
  4. Into the mixing bowl with dry ingredients – add eggs, oil and orange juice.
  5. Mix well.
  6. Pour into silicone muffin containers (or greased muffin pan). Makes 18 large Orange Muffins.
  7. Great for breakfast, school lunch, snacks.

And these Orange Muffins freeze well in an airtight container!

And if you are doing some batch baking – I also recommend my recipes for Healthy Muffins Chocolate Blueberry Qi’a and my ever popular Granola Breakfast Muffins.

Easily turn this into a kid-activity by inviting your children to pull a chair up to the counter – and measure and mix the ingredients. If you are baking with more than one child – talk about “responsibilities” ahead of time so there will be no fighting (for example – when baking with my kids I have one being the “wet ingredient” kid, one the “dry ingredient” kid and one the “mixer”.)

    I’d like to make these muffins…they sound different from the more common ones. How much regular orange juice could I substitute for the juice of two oranges?

Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And wit Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And with my recent concussion...I've had a lesson of setting (and sticking to) boundaries. 

Also, I'm learning kids need reminders of boundaries too. (Auto-regulation with virtual school is a CHALLENGE here!)

There are times to do things and there are times NOT to do things. There are times to say yes and times when it is totally OK to say no. 

What kind of boundaries are you setting?
Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if she wanted to colour my hair. Because pandemic. 

Navigating emotions is a challenge now (I believe @ericaehm has written about this). Teens are cut off from routine, in-person school, social circles. And add in being home with parents and siblings all the time. It's tough for all.

Luckily here, we seem to be rotating feeling the funk so when one is down someone else boosts them up.

Like "hey wanna colour my hair?!".

It's too dark in my opinion...but who cares..it's only hair...and I'm not going anywhere. And it was something different to do in a day.

Available at public libraries and bookstores.

STOP READING THIS BOOK is a fun picture book where the book challenges the reader to stop reading. Along the way, the reader meets elements of books like hero's, villans and challenges to overcome.

THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS is about a Grandma who magically transforms into different dinosaurs. Lots of dino facts, non-binary characters, and inter-generational endearment.
