Calories 198kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Large Naval Orange quartered, seeds removed
- 4 Eggs
- ⅓ Cup Olive Oil
- 3 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ½ Cup Fat Free Greek Yogurt
- 1 Cup Granulated Monk Fruit or cane sugar
- 1 ¾ Cups Gluten Free 1:1 Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
For the Optional Glaze:
- 1 Cup Powdered Monk Fruit or powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice whisked until smooth
Instructions
- To make these orange olive oil muffins, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tray with nine liners. Spray each liner with a little nonstick spray to prevent sticking, and set the tray aside.
- Add the quartered orange (seeds removed), eggs, olive oil, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and monk fruit to a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth — you want no visible chunks of orange peel remaining.
- Next, add the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and sea salt directly to the blender. Gently pulse just until the dry ingredients are incorporated — be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense. Stop as soon as you no longer see dry flour streaks.
- Divide the batter evenly among the nine prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full. Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 26–27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely before adding the glaze.
- If you're making the glaze, whisk together the powdered monk fruit and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the muffins are fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and allow it to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
