Carrot Muffins with a Hint of Orange
· 12 servings
Wet ingredients
Mix together all the “wet” ingredients – eggs, oil, orange juice, and orange zest.
Dry ingredients
Mix together all the “dry” ingredients: sugar, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Peel and grate the carrot.
Combine and fill the cups
Add the liquid mixture and the grated carrot to the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly. Line a muffin tin with paper cups and fill them about ¾ full.
Sprinkle with crumble
Using a handful of sugar, flour, and a bit of butter, rub together a crumble with your fingers, then add chopped almonds – walnuts work just as well.
Bake
Sprinkle a little crumble on top of each muffin and bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for about 20 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick.
