Description

These Orange Rice Muffins are a delightful gluten-free treat that combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the zesty brightness of orange juice concentrate. Made with simple pantry staples like rice flour and baking powder, they offer a tender crumb and a moist texture that rivals traditional wheat-based muffins. The subtle orange flavor pairs beautifully with the banana, creating a balanced taste profile that is neither too sweet nor too tart. Perfect for a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a healthy addition to a picnic basket, these muffins are naturally vegan and easy to prepare. They hold their shape well and are ideal for meal prepping, staying fresh for days when stored properly.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, orange juice concentrate, and oil.
  3. Whisk the wet ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Add the rice flour and baking powder to the wet mixture.
  5. Gently stir or blend until just combined; do not overmix to avoid toughness.
  6. Spoon the batter into six 2 1/2-inch nonstick muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  9. Turn the muffins out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
