Learn how to make moist and flavorful orange marmalade muffins. A perfect way to use up that jar of marmalade in your pantry!
I was going through my pantry and found an unopened jar of orange marmalade and came up with a plan to make these muffins.
I previously used orange marmalade to make my Slow Cooker Orange Chicken but I don’t have too many other recipes in my arsenal calling for this ingredient.
Tips
- Don’t you hate it when raisins get stuck together in a big clump? To unstick the raisins, wet your hands with a little water then work the raisins apart.
Recipe Variation
Instead of using raisins for this recipe, you can use some finely chopped dates. Or use neither one! Make them the way you want!

How to Make Spiced Orange Marmalade Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a muffin pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white, orange marmalade, oil, honey, orange zest and lemon extract.
- Add the milk and raisins (if using) and mix well.
- In a large bowl, stir together the all purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and salt.
- Add the marmalade mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until moistened. The batter should be lumpy at this point (Do not overmix).
