Let's start the day with the inviting aroma of homemade muffins bursting with sweet blueberries and zesty orange
When I open my eyes, every morning, the first thing I'd love to see is one of these: soft and yummy, fruity and sweet muffins, bursting with sunshine-sweet blueberries and orange flavor. Is it too much to ask?!? I think, not really ... These muffins are so easy to make, you can actually bake them in jiffy in the morning or the night before. All you need are the usual suspects that you probably have in your kitchen right now (flour, sugar, eggs, butter...), a box of blueberries and two oranges. A bowl and a muffin tin. That's all!
For these muffins I made my own muffin cups using parchment paper. It's a fun project, not really complicated. And you end up with these fancy-looking liners. Do you remember my video on how to make your own tulip-shape paper liners.?!? Make sure to check it out if you don't!
- Now, did you notice the muffin top on these?!? The secret to make the perfect high top of a bakery-style muffin: fill the muffin cups almost to the top with the batter, and bake the muffins at 425 degrees for the first 10 minutes, and lower temperature for the rest. It's that simple!
