2020 - July 26 - Orange Yoghurt Muffins

Sunday 26 July 2020

We are still under lockdown ... and I'm still baking muffins.  I've made some apple yoghurt muffins last week with Granny Smith apples.  Divine!!!

Today I wanted to do something with oranges ... I tried muffins using weetbix and orange juice & zest, but it was dry and not that good.

So I thought ... what if I take the apple muffin recipe, but use lemon cubes inside ...

Orange coconut yoghurt muffins

Makes 12 big muffins

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup coconut yoghurt (I’ve used Lancewood CoconutYogurt)(any yogurt will do - think Pick 'n Pay lemon meringue yoghurt will be fabulous)
  
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup oil
• 2 oranges, zested, peeled and chopped small cubes

TOPPING:

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cold butter

Preheat oven to 190 oC.  Prepare 12 muffin pan.  Rub the zest of the 2 oranges into the ¼ cup sugar for the muffin mixture.  In a large bowl, combine the flour, orange-sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine the coconut yoghurt, egg, oil and orange cubes; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. (batter will be thick). Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.

For topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.

Bake at 190°C for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
