Mandarin Muffins

Mandarin muffins are a fresh and fragrant snack, ideal to accompany a coffee break or a tea. The delicate and aromatic flavor of mandarin, combined with the softness of the dough, creates a simple dessert but rich in flavor. Perfect for the whole family, these muffins are easy to prepare and are even tastier if accompanied with a chocolate spread or a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

  1. Prepare the dough:

      • Pour the mixture into the paper cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  3. Baking the muffins:
      • Bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
      • Let cool on a rack.
  4. Serve:
      • Once cooled, the mandarin muffins are ready to be enjoyed, perhaps accompanied by a cup of hot tea.

Alternative Suggestion:

For a more indulgent version, you can add chocolate chips to the dough, or replace the mandarin compote with orange marmalade for a more intense flavor. If you want to make the muffins even fresher, try adding fresh mandarin juice to the dough.
