Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. Add the orange zest to the dry ingredients and mix it in, ensuring the zest is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.

  6. Sprinkle the poppy seeds into the batter and fold them in until evenly distributed.

  7. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter, using a spoon or ice cream scoop for even portions.

  8. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
