Brunch lovers, rejoice! Mimosa Muffins are the perfect blend of light, fluffy texture and vibrant citrus flavor, making them an ideal treat for your next brunch gathering or special occasion. The inspiration for these delightful muffins comes from the classic mimosa cocktail, which combines sparkling wine and orange juice. This recipe elevates the traditional muffin, incorporating champagne for an effervescent twist that adds a touch of sophistication to your breakfast table.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup champagne or sparkling wine
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, orange juice, champagne, eggs, and orange zest until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
