Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and line a muffin tin with liners. Spray the liners with cooking spray if you are using paper liners to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil, milk, orange flavoring and orange zest together until well combined.
- In a small dish, whisk to combine the flour, baking powder and salt together. Then mix the flour into the egg mixture, until well combined.
- Fill the muffin liners 3/4th full. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until baked through and a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Serve warm or allow to cool and serve.
Notes
Storage: Once cooled, store them over the counter in an airtight container for up to a week. If you have a cake dome, pop them inside and show off your baked goods! They'll also keep for up to a week there.
