Mini Orange Muffins for Breakfast

Ingredients

Nonstick spray, for spraying muffin tins

1 stick of salted butter, softened

½ cup Buona Cucina Navel Orange Fused Oil

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs 

2 cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1 cup buttermilk 

2 oranges, zested and juiced

1 cup lightly packed brown sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray mini muffin tins with nonstick spray.

Cream together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl by hand or using an electric mixer. Add the eggs and beat well. Mix in the flour. In a separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter along with the orange zest and mix well.

Fill the muffin tins two-thirds full with the batter and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 17 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and orange juice (you should have about 1/2 cup juice) and mix well. Drizzle this glaze over the warm muffins in the tins. Remove the muffins while still warm.

For a great twist use lemon zest, lemon juice and Buona Cucina Lemon Infused oil to make lemon muffins.
