Orange and Oat Muffins

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Orange essential oils and nutty oat aroma meet in this cake. The secret weapon here is joint use of freshly squeezed juice and zest, giving such intense citrus experience like biting into sunshine. Grinding oats ensures finer batter structure whilst retaining fibre richness.

Instructions

1 ✓

Grind oats finely in a food processor. Mix with flour and baking powder in a bowl.

Tip: Ground oats behave like flour but absorb more liquid than wheat flour, so don't be surprised if batter is thicker.
2 ✓

Wash orange thoroughly, grate zest, then squeeze juice. Measure out 50 ml.

Tip: Worth washing shop-bought orange with hot water or using organic orange for zest.
3 ✓

Cream soft butter, sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy (pale). Add eggs one by one and work in thoroughly.

Tip: Airy butter cream gives muffin frame. If butter is too hard, you can't beat air into it.
4 ✓

Mix grated zest and orange juice into butter mass.

Tip: Essential oils dissolve best in fat, so add zest now.
5 ✓

Alternately add flour mixture and milk. Start and finish with dry ingredients. Mix only until uniform.

Tip: Alternating addition helps maintain emulsion so butter doesn't separate from liquid.
6 ✓

Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin tins and bake in oven preheated to 180°C (160°C Fan) for 20-25 minutes.

Tip: Bake until skewer test: if skewer remains clean, it's ready.
7 ✓

Cool on rack. Can sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.

Tip: Citrus flavours mature truly by next day.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the cake bitter?
You probably grated the white pith in too. Only use the yellow outer layer!
Can I use carton juice?
Yes, but fresh juice acidity and aroma give much livelier taste.
