Baby is having an unusually long nap today, it’s cold outside and we’re super cosy inside thanks to a friend picking up the King from school. As a thank you I thought a few Orange and Cranberry muffins would do the trick.
I have a shit ton of organic oranges and eggs from mum and dad who can be relied on delivering me a fresh supply fortnightly. You can’t pay for that goodness! The fruit basically drips orange juice when you pick them up they are so lush.
The recipe is as all muffin recipes should be, super simple and zero fuss. Twenty minutes max from craving to eating.
For this recipe I used a mix of healthy ingredients and cheeky goodies. All it’s about balance at my place.
In a food processor mix:
Two whole oranges chopped into quarters and again.
One cup orange juice
125g butter (you could use oil)
Two eggs
Pulse the lot until smooth.
Into a large bowl mix
Two cups wholemeal self raising flour
One cup regular self raising flour
One cup brown sugar
Make a well and pour in the wet ingredients. I also added a cup of dried cranberries here.
Divide amongst greased muffin or cupcake pans. I baked cupcake size for fifteen minutes and muffin size for nineteen. Both on 180 degrees C.
Served hot with a big of butter non negotiable.
