Muffin Monday – Mandarin Orange Muffins
Welcome to Muffin (and Cupcake) Monday!
My son was hinting around that he wanted me to make some more muffins with a cinnamon-sugar topping. (He really doesn’t ask for much!) So, I whipped these up for him. They seemed to hit the spot!
Mandarin Orange Muffins
Ingredients:
Batter
1-1/2 cups all-purpose baking mix
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 11-oz can of mandarin oranges, drained and diced
Topping
Spray butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
What To Do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat muffin tins with non-stick spray.
Batter
Combine baking mix, sugar, nutmeg and allspice in a large bowl (Bowl #1).
Stir egg, butter, milk and mandarin oranges together in another bowl (Bowl #2).
Stir liquid ingredients (Bowl #2) into dry ingredients (Bowl #1).
Spoon batter into muffin tins filling each tin 3/4 full and making sure orange bits are evenly distributed.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Topping
Combine sugar and cinnamon in cereal-size bowl.
While muffins are still warm, spray tops with butter and roll in sugar-cinnamon mixture.
Makes 10-12 muffins.
Enjoy!

That’s fabulous Wende! Thanks!
Simple and easy. I never thought to add oranges but that is an excellent idea.
Thanks Hazel!
I’ve got plenty of fresh clementines, I wonder if those would work in place or if you kind of need the juice of the canned mandarines. Thank you for linking to Fat Camp Friday. Enjoy your weekend!
The fresh clementines would work perfectly, Miranda! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend as well!

Yum, I’ve been looking for a mandarin orange muffin recipe but they all seem to use fresh oranges.
Hope you get a chance to try these, Cherish. Thanks so much for stopping by!
I was drawn to this recipe because I feel like you don’t often see mandarin oranges used in baking. These muffins look delicious
I also have a question, if you don’t mind my asking. Do you actually link every recipe to all of those other sites you listed? That seems like so much work; I was just wondering how you do it.
Hope you get to try them. They are delicious! And, yes, we do actually link every recipe to all the sites listed. We love sharing our recipes and giving others the opportunity to check out the recipes from other fabulous blogs as well.
visiting from the HIH Soiree! I will def have to make these for my daughter – she LOVES mandarin oranges! thanks for sharing!!

I never thought of mandarin oranges in muffins. This sounds so yummy. My kids eat mandarin oranges a lot (almost daily!) so I’m going to have to try this.
Thanks for sharing with Sweets This Week.

I love Mandarin Orange muffins and I haven’t made in such a long time….time to fix that.
