How Do These Muffins Taste Like?

These soft and moist muffins are delicious, with a slight tang – probably from the yogurt. The orange and Nutella flavors pair quite well, so the muffins did not turn out to be too sweet.

What Ingredients Do We Need?

• Plain Flour
• Baking Powder
• Caster Sugar
• Orange Juice & Zest: You can grate the zest and get the juice from 1 large orange for this recipe.
• Unsweetened Natural Yogurt: Use unsweetened natural yogurt or greek yogurt for this recipe. Do not use the low fat ones.
• Oil: You can use any neutral tasting oil for these muffins.
• Egg
• Nutella: We will be using 1 tsp of Nutella for each muffin.

Why Do We Add Yogurt?

Muffins or cakes made with some yogurt usually gives a moister and velvety crumb, without complex steps or ingredients. Some recipes may also substitute some of the fats (oil or butter) with yogurt to reduce the fat content.

Muffins and cupcakes made with yogurt and/or oil usually taste best the next day. So do make these 1 day ahead. I’ve tried eating some on the same day that I’ve baked, and they tasted slightly blander. On the next day, the flavor of the yogurt and oil developed better. The muffins were quite soft and not too dense.

This recipe is also a very simple mix and bake. Quite convenient for a quick fix for next day’s breakfast!
