List of Ingredients



• 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  
• 1 cup buttermilk
  
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  
• 1 cup granulated sugar
  
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1/2 tsp orange oil or 1/4 tsp orange extract
  
• 3 large eggs
  
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• Finely grated zest of 1 orange
  
• 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  






Instructions



1. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
   
   
2. In a large measuring cup, combine the poppy seeds with the buttermilk; set aside to soak while preparing the rest of the batter.
   
   
3. In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and orange oil or extract. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl once or twice.
   
   
4. Stir together the flour, orange zest, baking powder, soda, nutmeg, and salt. In alternating batches, add the dry mixture and the buttermilk to the batter, beating just until blended.
   
   
5. Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
   
   Cool in the pan 5 minutes before unmolding onto a wire rack.
