How to Make Mandarin Orange Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup mandarin orange segments.
- Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Makes approximately 8 muffins (recipe yields enough batter for 2 extra muffins).
