ingredients

  • 2 cups “cup-for-cup” Gluten Free flour blend
  • .5 cup white sugar
  • .25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • .25 teaspoon salt
  • .5 cup (4 ounces) melted butter or flavorless oil
  • 2 eggs
  • .75 cup whole milk or alternative milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 Sunkist® Ojai Pixie tangerines, peeled and segmented

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and generously butter or spray a 12-cup standard muffin pan.
  2. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar in each muffin cavity then top with 3-4 Pixie segments. Set aside and prepare batter.
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine and break up any brown sugar clumps.
  4. Melt butter either in microwave or on the stovetop and add to a bowl or large, spouted measuring cup. Whisk in milk, eggs, and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
  5. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and with a wooden spoon or rubber/silicone spatula mix until combined.
  6. Divide batter evenly between 12 muffin tins.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and carefully place a large platter or baking sheet on top of muffin pan and flip to invert cakes. This needs to be done while the cakes are hot to prevent sticking.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.
