Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tangelos
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) plain whole milk yogurt
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Glaze:
- 1 cup (125 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) freshly squeezed tangelo juice
- Tangelo zest for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C) and line or grease 12 cavities of a muffin pan.
- Place the sugar in a medium bowl. Add the zest of the tangelos to the bowl and use your fingertips to blend the zest into the sugar until well-combined and fragrant.
- Peel the tangelos, separate into segments, and place in a blender or food processor.
- Add the sugar with the zest to the blender and process until well blended and chopped finely.
- Pulse in the eggs, yogurt, canola oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour in the tangelo mixture and mix just until combined with no streaks of flour remaining. Don't overmix.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared muffin tins 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes.
- Allow to rest in the pan 5-10 minutes before removing to wire rack.
