Oct 14, 2016, Updated Sep 23, 2022 These muffins make an excellent every-day breakfast but would be right at home on a special holiday table, too. I’m very grateful to have Tropicana® Canada as a partner, and I’ve collaborated with them on this recipe. Tropicana Pure Premium® 100% Orange Juice pictured is an excellent choice for many reasons, but here are the most important to me: a) it tastes delicious and b) it contains only one thing, and that’s oranges (no sugar, colours, flavours, additives, preservatives – just the juice squeezed from fresh Florida citrus, nothing else.) Before the muffins are popped in the oven, I like to adorn them each with a thin slice of fresh orange. That’s a great food styling and presentation tip for baked goods: save some of the mix-ins (or add something that suggests what’s inside) to put on top before baking. Optional, of course, but pretty, right? The recipe yields 12 plump, beautiful, orange-y muffins – perfect for freezing or sharing. I share with my neighbours often – it’s a fast way to make new friends. Food is love, people. After I part with a plateful while still warm, I stow most of them in the freezer – they’re just like fresh-baked after 30 seconds in the microwave. Perfect for busy fall mornings, especially as the holidays ramp up. Thank you, dear readers, for supporting me in my collaborations with the hand-picked sponsors who keep the Foodess kitchen running!
