Blueberry Muffins Recipe with Blood Orange
15
Ingredients
DESCRIPTION
The blood orange in these homemade blueberry muffins adds a nice citrus edge to the muffin but is pretty subtle. Blood oranges are a brilliant deep red color when you cut into them and can be found at upscale grocery stores and farmer’s markets. If you can’t ind them or want a more traditional orange flavor try using a regular Navel or Valencia orange in it’s place or add a tablespoon of Cointreau or Grand Marnier to the muffin batter with the Greek style yogurt. I also use almond meal in this recipe, to add rich moisture and a subtle nuttiness to the muffin as well as protect the muffin from overmixing and becoming too heavy when they bake. If you don’t have almond meal, you can either grind a 1/3 cup of regular almonds in a blender or food processor until it is powder and use that in place or just skip the almond meal and use 1/4 cup all-purpose flour in place. No big deal. But if you have almond meal or flour around, use it. You’ll be surprised at what it the small amount adds to the muffin recipe.
