Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat eggs lightly.
  4. Add honey, orange juice, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs; mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened; do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note

For best results, use fresh orange juice to enhance the citrus flavor.

You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different taste profile.

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

To add texture, consider folding in chopped nuts or dried fruits before baking.
