Orange Margarita<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhen citrus season is in full swing, you’ve gotta take advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to start with something simple, these gluten-free Orange Muffins are the place to start. They’re filled with orange flavor, topped with a light glaze, and quick and easy<\/strong> to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKeep reading, for tips and tricks to make the best<\/em> Orange Muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nMy top muffin tips and tricks…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n First, when baking with citrus, it’s best to have something in your muffin batter that helps give it extra structure.<\/strong> Simply put, the acid in citrus affects the baking soda and makes it so the muffins quickly rise and fall. It’s a tricky balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor these gluten-free Orange Muffins I like to add Greek yogurt to the muffin batter, to give the muffins some structure. Then you don’t have to worry about any of that. And, it gives the muffins a great texture as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use plain or vanilla. I prefer plain Greek yogurt, so it’s made with less sugar and other ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next up, one of my favorite muffin tricks is to start with your oven at 425.<\/strong> It helps boost the muffins as they rise, so they puff up quickly and look a little more bakery style.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter five minutes at 425, you can turn the oven down to 350 and continue to bake them till they’re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, for these gluten-free Orange Muffins in particular, orange zest is a must. <\/strong>Orange juice will add a little flavor, but orange zest will add most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMake sure you have a good zester<\/a>, and zest as much of the two oranges as you can. This is a key, for a great orange flavor! Zest, zest, zest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nGluten-free Orange Muffins are a great way to start a Spring or Summer breakfast! They’re easy to make, filled with plenty of orange flavor, and topped with a light glaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
