There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm, fluffy muffin straight from the oven. These Fluffy Orange Raisin Muffins are the kind you’ll reach for again and again. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee, packing a snack for the day, or craving something sweet and citrusy in the afternoon, these muffins hit the spot every time.
The flavor combination in this recipe is truly special. Fresh orange zest adds a bright, refreshing note, while juicy raisins bring natural sweetness and a soft bite. Together, orange and raisin create a beautiful harmony that’s both nostalgic and unique. Every bite feels like a little taste of sunshine soft, fluffy, and perfectly balanced in flavor.
I first fell in love with this pairing while making my popular Orange Raisin Cake last year. Since then, I’ve been dreaming of a muffin version that’s quick, easy, and just as irresistible. These Fluffy Orange Raisin Muffins deliver all that and more. I guarantee, once you try them, you’ll want to bake them every week.
What makes these muffins stand out is their beautifully tall, domed tops. Achieving bakery-style height at home isn’t hard when you know the secret. Start baking at 220°C (425°F) for the first 8 minutes to give the batter a quick lift. Then, without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 180°C (365°F) and finish baking. This simple trick traps steam inside and encourages the muffins to rise tall and fluffy.
You don’t need fancy equipment or special ingredients just a bowl, fresh oranges, and your favorite raisins. With just a little effort, you’ll have warm, golden muffins with heavenly aroma and flavor.
Get ready to fall in love with the best orange raisin muffins ever delicious, comforting, and baked to perfection.
