Delicious Orange Blueberry Muffins Recipe

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

   Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

   Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
3. 3

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, mix milk, melted butter, egg, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth.

   Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding to avoid cooking the egg.
4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

   It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make muffins tough.
5. 5

   Fold in Blueberries

   Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed.

   If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to prevent bleeding.
6. 6

   Fill Muffin Tins

   Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

   Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
7. 7

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

   Check for doneness a couple of minutes early to avoid overbaking.
8. 8

   Cool and Drizzle

   Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze if desired.

   Mix powdered sugar with a little water or orange juice for the glaze.
