My morning routine as a kid was never complete without a glass of Florida Orange Juice! Elara has picked up on the same habits as me, and it’s been such a great way to get key nutrients first thing in the morning! In our house, mornings are all over the place and no day is the same except for a refreshing glass of Florida OJ.
Over the years, I went from exclusively drinking OJ to baking with it, too! It’s a fun and easy way to add some extra nutrients and the most delicious flavor! Florida OJ includes key nutrients such as vitamin C, folate, thiamin, and potassium, as well as vitamin D (in fortified juices) to help support your immune system, which is why they call it, The Original Wellness Drink!
One of my favorite flavor combos is Orange and Fennel because it’s incredibly unique AND satisfying! Check out my recipe for Orange-Fennel Muffins which are perfect and make back-to-school mornings a little easier!

Description
Fluffy orange muffisn topped with a fennel and orange streusel made with Florida Orange Juice. Makes 12 muffins
Ingredients
FENNEL ORANGE STREUSEL
- 1 tbsp Florida Orange Juice
- 1/2 cup (63 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
- 3 tbsp (37 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (37 g) brown sugar
- 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter, melted
ORANGE MUFFINS
- 1 cup (248 g) Florida Orange Juice
- 2 1/2 cup (320 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs**
- 3/4 cup (180 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp (80 g) whole milk
- 2/3 cup (135 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/218°C. Grease a cupcake/muffin pan with butter or cooking spray, making sure to grease the top of the pan as well so the muffin tops don’t stick to it. You can also use muffin liners instead.
- In a medium mixing bowl, make the streusel by whisking together all-purpose flour, ground fennel, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Pour in unsalted butter and Florida Orange Juice and mix until you have a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well and set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar for 1 minute or until light and creamy. Add in the milk and Florida Orange Juice and whisk for 30 seconds. Add 1 tbsp vanilla and whisk until well combined. Slowly pour in the melted butter while whisking.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture with a spatula by scraping the sides of the bowl and then down the center. Once half the flour has been incorporated add in your mix-ins. Fold until there are no streaks of dry flour anywhere in the batter.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to spoon the batter into the muffin tin. Fill each cavity to the top. Gently smooth the tops out with a spoon and sprinkle on the orange fennel streusel. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on a rack. Store individually wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
2 eggs can be replaced with 1/2 cup of sour cream. A good dairy-free option is 1/2 cup of full fat coconut cream. If using yogurt, use full fat vanilla yogurt but please know that your muffins will have a yogurt-y flavor.
