I made these orange marmalade in a moment of experimentation. I had been playing around with Donna Hay’s sublime Lemon Yoghurt Cake, it’s a wonderful recipe and I just added an orange angle here.
We’d made the orange marmalade ourselves too, just myself, Minnie The Minx and the Thermomix. Too easy.
Orange Marmalade Muffins
Ingredients
- 180ml vegetable oil (3/4 cup)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup 280g thick natural yoghurt
- 385g caster sugar 1 ¾ cups
- 300g 2 cups SR flour
- 50g orange marmalade
Instructions
Put on the oven to heat at 180°C.
Whisk together oil, eggs, yoghurt and sugar.
Sieve in flour and stir until smooth.
Swirl in the orange marmalade.
Cook for 15 - 20 minutes.
Drizzle a little orange marmalade on top when still warm.
Scoff the lot... err, I mean eat one and watch the children scoff the lot.
Note to self: an orange marmalade butter cream would be great, or a simple lemon icing.
I’ll be doing a bit of running and walking on that treadmill today too.
Not to burn off the cake calories so much as to exercise the old heart and release some happy hormones.
Hope that all is well for you and yours.
Those look yummy – every time I see something that someone has made with a thermomix I turn a little shade of green !!!
So glad Giant Teen 16 is recovering well – hope things continue that way !
Have the best day !

Thank you, he’s all good now and watching the DVD ‘War Horse’ right behind me. I wish I could watch too but have got piles and piles of stuff to do, all overdue!
So glad the surgery went well – sounds nasty as. Internet use is always a good sign!
The muffins look delicious! I’m bookmarking them to add to the growing list of things to bake. Yum!
Man they look good. I love an orange taste to my cakes.
Chickpeas in a chocolate cake sounds most interesting. Love to hear precisely what that’s about.

It’s baking as we speak. I’m not sure how it’ll be, and I threw in a half tin of condensed milk to the original recipe. What can go long. Will report back.
It’s such an anxious time when you have a child in hospital so I’m very pleased to hear it all went well. I’m having trouble subscribing to your blog. I’ve subscribed a few times but I’m not getting email notifications of your posts! xx
Hi there, you should get one post every Saturday with excerpts from each week’s posts. I’ll have a check at Mailchimp. Must pop over and hear how the running’s going!
These look wonderful – so glossy & moist! Oh & homemade marmalade – YUM!! Baking is definitely my stress buster! Glad to hear your 16 yr old is recovering – sounds pretty hideous for him! Stopping by from FYBF. 🙂
These look great.!! Orange marmalade is on the shopping list 🙂 x
These look so good Seana. I’m pinning them for the next time I get my bake on!
Oh lordy! Poor giant teen. Speedy recovery.
One of these days I will stop pining at people’s lovely recipes and pics and bloody well get off my whiny arse to make some with sugar-free-diet-approved substitute. Hmmmph.
I am actually reading this whilst I am on the treadmill and these look great. May just have to give them a go! Have a great weekend, glad the teen is recovering ok x
Might just have to face the stress of baking and try your yummy muffins, Seanna! They look gorgeous. I hope that Teen 16 is all healed and better.
They look delicious! Send some over please!
Yay for Teen16’s op being a success. Now for you to give him some motherly pampering 🙂
That abcess sounds nasty – I hope he gets well very quickly.
I’m pretty sure cake and muffins like these will do the job. 🙂
How terrible to need surgery for an abscess! …and to be told that it was all the way to the bone :0!!! Wow, teenagers are gross! (I have two)
It was funny to read that you use your treadmill for stress relief and happy hormones. I do the same thing 🙂 …and for the other times there is always wine 🙂
So glad the surgery went well. It’s horrible to watch them go in. I was a mess when Miss H went in – I think she recovered far quicker than me. Oh and those muffins look delish xx
