Description

These muffins feature a unique blend of orange zest, walnuts, and rosemary, creating a flavorful treat that’s far from ordinary.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) walnuts, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 6 tbsp (90 ml) canola oil
  • Zest of 2 oranges {save 1 tsp for icing}
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped {plus extra for garnish}
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) almond milk*

For Icing:

  • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 3-4 tsp freshly squeeze orange juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and walnuts.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, oil, orange zest, and chopped rosemary.
  4. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix until just combined {do not overmix, there will still be some small lumps}.*At this point, I noticed that the mixture looked a bit dry, so I added a small amount of almond milk to moisten. This is not part of the original recipe, but it worked well for mine. If your mixture looks a bit dry, add 1 tbsp at a time of almond (or regular) milk until moistened.
  5. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter into liners. Bake for 16-18 minutes until tops are slightly golden and firm, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool on a baking rack for about 30 minutes or until completely cooled. Spoon icing over top and decorate with a small sprig of rosemary.

Icing:

  1. Sift confectioners’ sugar into a small bowl.
  2. Add zest and juice and whisk until smooth.
  3. Drizzle or spoon over muffins and let set. Or eat right away, you’ve waited long enough!

  • For a stronger rosemary flavor, increase the rosemary to 1 1/2 tablespoons.
