Quick, easy and very tasty, this KitchenAid Orange Muffin Recipe is a healthy addition to your breakfast menu. I add all the dry ingredients to a bowl the night before and then in the morning I add the liquids to facilitate the morning breakfast rush.

Be sure not to overmix as that will cause dry and dense muffins. Small lumps in the batter are fine.

How to pick the best fresh oranges for your KitchenAid orange muffin recipe?

Weight is key. Look for fruits that feel heavy for their size (they'll contain a lot of juice). Make sure they have a firm texture with no mushy areas. Avoid soft spots, bruises or dull, wrinkled skin. You want oranges that are a bright, consistent color be cause color matters. You should look for a deep, vibrant and uniform orange color. A fresh, citrussy scent at the stem and smooth skin also indicate peak ripeness. On "navel" oranges, check the navel or button, as larger open navels indicate more flavor.

What is the best way to store your oranges for your KitchenAid orange muffin recipe?

Oranges can last on the counter in a bowl for about a week. Keep them out of the direct sunlight. To store them for longer, keep them in the crisper draw in the fridge, where they can last for up to a month. If possible, place them in a mesh bag to ensure air flow. Do not wash before storing because moisture on the rind speeds up decay.

What gives orange muffins the best flavor?

Freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh grated zest will give you the best flavor. Also adding a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract will greatly add to the flavor of your batch of muffins.
