serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

1 3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice
1 medium orange, peeled, flesh chopped and seeds removed
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger

directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line muffin tins with paper liners.

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, add the egg and orange zest. Beat in the flour in small amounts, alternating with the orange juice. Fold in the orange pieces and ginger by hand.

Fill the lined muffin tins 3/4ths full with the muffin batter. Place in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the muffins in an airtight container.
