Orange Mini Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and butter small muffin tins. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream 1 cup sugar and butter until smooth. Add the eggs and beat until fluffy.
• In a glass measuring cup, combine buttermilk and baking soda and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and salt; add to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beating until well mixed.
• In a food processor, grind the raisins and orange zest. Add to the batter and combine. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins and bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 12 minutes.
• Remove the tins to a cooling rack. Brush the tops of the muffins with orange juice and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup sugar while still warm; let stand 5 minutes. Remove muffins from pans.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut whole, unpeeled orange into 8 sections and chop in a food processor. Add the chopped oranges to the dates, nuts, melted butter, orange juice, sugar, and egg.
• Sift the dry ingredients together and then stir into the wet ingredients until just blended. Pour into paper-cup lined mini-muffin tins, filling them 3/4 full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until puffed and firm in the center. Cool before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.

• In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, orange peel, orange juice and eggs until well blended.
• Add coconut, then stir into flour mixture until just combined.
• Do not overmix.
• Spoon into muffin cups and sprinkle a little extra coconut on the tops of each muffin.

• Or, if you wish to make standard-size muffins, bake at 375°F for approximately 22 to 25 minutes.
