Description
These Orange Muffins are very spongy in every bite and tastes delicious with full of orange flavour even though they’re not feather light cakes. I consider this is a healthy recipe using natural yoghurt without butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Egg yolks
- 30g Sugar
- 35g Fresh orange juice
- Orange zest from one large orange
- 70g Natural yoghurt
- 80g Plain flour
- 10g Corn flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 3 Egg whites

- Remove bowl from machine, add in sifted flour (plain flour, corn flour & baking powder) and mix well with a hand whisk, follow by orange zest, mix well again.
- Whisk egg whites and sugar until peak form.
- Fold 1/4 of egg white to egg yolk mixture with a rubber spatula until well mix and fold in remaining egg white in two batches.
- Scoop batter into muffin liners to 3/4 full and place them on a baking tray.
- Bake at preheated oven at 170C for about 25-30 minutes or until skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Bang the baking tray together with the small cakes on the counter top 2-3 times once they are cooked, as this will prevent the cakes shringes. Leave to cool and store them in an airtight container in room temperature for 2-3 days.
