Equipment

  • 12 muffin tins

Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients

  • 250 g all purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet ingredients

  • 40 g dry goji berries
  • 150 ml fresh orange juice
  • 90 g cane sugar
  • 50 g rice oil
  • 130 ml plant milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • zest from 1 orange
  • 1 tsp vanila extract

(Optional) Glaze

  • 100 g powder sugar
  • 30-40 ml fresh orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven at 170°C and prepare your muffin tins;
  • Put all wet ingredients in a large bowl, combine them well and set aside for 20 minutes;
  • Sift the dry ingredients through a sieve over a medium bowl and combine well;
  • Put the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients and gently combine with a balloon whisk; don't over-mix the batter, it's fine to have a few small lumps left;
  • Scoop the batter into 12 muffin tins and fill each of them about ¾ full;
  • Place the muffin molds into the oven and bake at 170°C for about 22 minutes;
  • When the muffins are baked, remove from the oven and place them on a cooling rack;
  • Put the powder sugar in a small bowl and gradually add the orange juice while mixing with a teaspoon; as as much orange juice as needed to get the desired thickness;
  • When the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze on top of them and enjoy!

Notes

  1. If you're not using organic oranges, soak them for at least 2 hours in water with 1 tsp of baking soda; thus, the chemicals from the peel will at least partially be removed.
  2. Don't over-mix the batter; otherwise your muffins won't rise.
  3. Divide the batter equally between the 12 muffin tins so they bake at the same time.
  4. Insert a toothpick into a muffin to check the doneness level; if the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  5. Baking time may vary, depending on the oven.
