Orange Berry Muffins exploding with plump blueberries and a hint of oranges are super easy to make. You can even make these scrumptious muffins year round using fresh or frozen blueberries. No need to thaw the frozen berries, just throw them into the batter and you are ready to go! Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits, I like to throw them into my cereal, oatmeal, even salads. These muffins are moist, delicious, and the perfect way to start your day. Make a batch of these this weekend and I promise you won’t be disappointed. 
Orange Berry Muffins
Ingredients:
- Grated zest and juice of one orange
- About 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking power
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (not thawed)
- Turbinado sugar, for topping
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line muffin cups with muffin liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a two cup glass measuring cup, add the orange juice and enough buttermilk to make 1 cup. Whisk in the eggs, honey, and melted butter.
- In a large bowl, rub the orange zest and sugar together with your fingers. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups. Top the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake until muffin tops are golden and springy to the touch, 20 to 24 minutes, rotating halfway through baking time. Cool muffins in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool 5 minutes before serving.

Oh. My. Lord. Can you please make some and bring one and bring it to my house? Naw, I’ll just make them in the morning! I’m one of those kids that goes to school sick or not and my mother is banning me from going tomorrow. Instead I may or may not be in for a strep test, yippie.
I love how blueberry muffins can be made with lemon, lime or orange zest and they all taste so different but SO amazing! These look awesome!
These muffins were deliciously moist. My boys told me to add this to my recipe list! I would add orange extract next time, because I love a stronger orange flavor.
I am so glad that you enjoyed them! Let me know how they turn out with the orange extract!
