I prepared these vegan orange muffins without much expectation. I decided to try them because I had some oranges that I wanted to use.
I prepared them yesterday late afternoon for breakfast today. The recipe resulted in 11 orange muffins and now, less than 24 hours after, there are only three of them… and my son isn’t home and so we are in three at home. Repeating my daughter’s words, they’re “light, tasty and satisfy our sweet tooth”.
I’m becoming more and more addicted to olive oil recipes. They are really lighter and I like the feeling of eating healthy ;-).
I found this recipe in this Italian blog post written by Francesca Quaglia, and I changed a few things. I used brown sugar and chopped the hazelnuts. Enjoy :-D!

great recipe. The muffins came out moist and tasty – good way to use extra oranges. I added a little more orange as the first time I did it was not orange-y enough. When I split recipe in half, I get only four muffins but maybe yours are smaller?
Great recipe! I made these today and they came out looking so good and are so yummy! For me the mixture turned out much too thick before putting them into the muffin tray, so I had to add some extra liquid and after that they were awesome 🙂
So glad to know that, Jess! Thank you for writing! 🥰
