Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, orange juice, melted butter, eggs, orange zest, orange blossom water, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the batter together using a spatula, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once the muffins have cooled, lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your fragrant Orange Blossom Muffins!
