How to Make Tangerine Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. 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 ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 large egg, ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, and ½ cup milk until well combined.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Zest and juice 2 large tangerines. Add the tangerine zest and ½ cup of the tangerine juice to the batter and stir gently to combine.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
