The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup dark molasses
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.
  • Make the muffins: In a large bowl, beat sugar, molasses, oil, eggs, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and orange zest until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Fold flour mixture into liquid until batter is just combined.
  • Fill prepared muffin tin 3/4 full of batter. Bake muffins at 425F 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 375F and continue baking 13-15 additional minutes until muffins spring back when lightly touched. Cool muffins in pan 10 minutes, then remove to a wire cooling rack.
  • Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring glaze ingredients to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Generously brush warm glaze over muffins. Serve immediately and enjoy!
