Looking for a clever way to sneak in some extra fibre while treating your tastebuds? These Whole Orange Muffins are just the ticket! Made using the entire orange — yes, skin and all — they’re not only bursting with citrusy zing but also incredibly fluffy and satisfying. Perfect for lunchboxes, morning tea, or a wholesome snack on the go, especially when paired with your favourite Sinchies reusable food pouch filled with yoghurt or smoothie.

🍊 Why Use the Whole Orange?

Using the whole fruit, peel included, adds a punch of flavour and a fibre boost — no waste, just goodness! It aligns beautifully with our Sinchies values of reducing waste and embracing healthy, sustainable choices.

🧁 Ingredients

• 1 whole orange

• 3 eggs

• ⅓ cup olive oil

• ¾ cup raw sugar

• 2 cups self-raising flour

🔄 Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and grease or line a muffin tin.

2. Cut the orange into quarters and remove any seeds.

3. In a blender or food processor, combine the orange, eggs, olive oil, and raw sugar. Blend until smooth.

4. Pour the mixture into a bowl and gently stir in the self-raising flour until just combined — don’t overmix!

5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

7. Let cool slightly before serving.

🥣 Sinchies Tip

These muffins freeze brilliantly. Pop a few into a Sinchies reusable food pouch and keep them in the freezer for grab-and-go mornings. They pair wonderfully with a Sinchies yoghurt pouch for a balanced snack.
