Lean orange muffins

Lean orange muffins

Ingredients

• Orange - 1 pc.
• Flour - 1 cup
• Salt - a pinch
• Soda - 0.5 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• Sugar - 0.5 cups
• Vegetable oil - 30-40 ml
• Nuts / seeds (or raisins, or candied fruits) - optional

Directions

1. From an orange we need zest and juice. The zest can be removed with a grater, and the juice carefully squeezed out by hand.
2. Beat the grated zest, orange juice, sugar, salt and vegetable oil with a mixer.
3. Soda must be quenched with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and also added to the bowl.
4. Now you can sift the flour and mix it into the sugar-orange mixture. You should have a thick dough (like the thickest store-bought sour cream). If the dough does not turn out the desired consistency, then add a little more flour.
5. Right now you need to add fillers, if any (raisins, seeds and nuts, candied fruits).
6. Grease molds with vegetable oil. We spread the dough in the molds, leave a little space on top for the cupcakes to rise.
7. We send lean orange muffins to the oven, preheated to a temperature of 180 degrees, for about 30 minutes.
8. Lenten orange muffins are ready! Bon appetit!
