2 recipes for fluffy orange muffins

Store-bought muffins usually contain too much sugar, low-quality oils and some additives. Homemade products are much healthier in comparison. For example, in these two recipes we chose healthy ingredients like oils instead of butter or margarine.

We’ll also tell you how to get perfect muffins. All you have to do is note the following:

• Mix the ingredients together well, especially the egg and sugar.
• First, mix the flour and baking powder together before adding it to the mixture.
• Chill the raw dough before placing it in the oven to create a temperature contrast
