About Orange Muffins Recipe
A muffin is an individually portioned baked product, but the term can refer to one of two distinct items: a part-raised flatbread baked and then cooked on a griddle, or a quickbread chemically leavened and baked in a mould.
The type of muffin we enjoy is a decidedly American treat that dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. When pearlash was discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, the first written recipes for American- style muffins appeared. Muffins frequently include fruit, nuts, and spices. Orange muffins made without eggs using orange juice/pulp, orange zest, whole wheat flour, and orange juice/pulp.

Orange Juice
Orange juice can be used to make cakes, cookies, muffins, and marmalade. There are several recipes that include orange derivatives in the ingredient list. One of the best ways to reap the nutritional benefits of oranges is to include the pulp of this fruit in recipes.
