Orange poppy seed muffins (vegetarian)

Yield: 6 muffins

Ingredients

Muffin dough

zest of 2 oranges
110 gr orange juice (juice of approx. 2 oranges)
110 grams of milk (I used an almond one. You can replace it with orange juice or water)
60 gr sugar
150 gr flour
vanilla
a pinch of salt
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
20 gr poppy seeds
(I also used almond flakes for garnish)

Cream cheese frosting for "hats"

200 gr cream
300 gr cream cheese
75 gr powdered sugar
vanilla
2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

To prepare the cream - just whisk all the ingredients.

We set the oven to 180*С We mix the orange zest with sugar and rub them additionally - so that the orange gives even more flavor. Add orange juice and almond milk, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to the sugar.

Stir, and leave aside. Sift soda, flour, and baking powder, pour into the liquid part, add poppy seeds, and stir with a whisk until smooth.

I baked in 6 molds for about 45 minutes. The cake is tender, moist, with a rich orange flavor.
