Delicately fragrant Orange Cardamom Muffins for your midweek treat! Moist, flavorful, tender, and easy to make, these muffins can be cooling on your counter in just 30 minutes. Just give them a try!
This recipe is beyond simple. Grease a muffin pan and preheat your oven. Whisk together the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then combine the dry ingredients in another. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones until just combined. A good rule of thumb is not to overmix your batter. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan and sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Bake the muffins until they are puffed and golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy these muffins warm with a cup of coffee for the perfect snack.
