I've used the same recipe for Citrus Yoghurt Muffins for this with a couple of changes. Since I've oranges in my fridge only, so I've just used orange zest. For the oil, I've used Carotino oil which is a palm oil that came in a deep red hue. I decided to try this Carotino that I've gotten in sample bottle after reading that one can create a very nicely coloured cake in a newspaper feature.
Check out the colour of the muffin! It is indeed a very very rich orangey colour. Compared with the Citrus Yoghurt Muffins, this batch looked so good! The muffins are moist and I can safely scoot off to get a bottle of Carotino oil just for baking! This seems like a great item to be served during the Chinese New Year.
O the zest of Life! Orangey and Chinese-New-Yeary too! :D
