  • 1 tsp. grated orange zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF and lightly oil a muffin tray, or line it with 12 paper/silicone liners.
  2. In a small bowl, prepare the filling by combining goat cheese, honey, and orange zest. Stir until fully combined and set aside.

  6. With a spoon, spoon batter into muffin tins until about halfway full. Add 1 tsp. filling to each tin, and cover with more muffin batter. Make sure the cheese filling is fully covered.
  7. Bake muffins for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
  8. When finished, allow to cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.
