Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. For big-topped muffins, line 8 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners. For standard-size muffins line 10 muffin cups. (optional) Fill the remaining cups with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to help the muffins bake evenly.

Notes
You can sub orange juice instead of almond milk to enhance the orange flavor, however the texture will be completely different!
