INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 450º F. Line muffin cups with 6" paper liners and spray with non-stick spray with flour just before filling cups. Set muffin pan on half sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, oil, orange marmalade, orange zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Fold the liquids into dry ingredients until the flour is half absorbed.
- Toss the "Add-ins" together in a bowl until evenly mixed. Scatter them over the muffin batter and continue folding until just barely mixed and all of the flour is absorbed.
- Scoop into the prepared muffin cups, using a #10 ivory scoop (1/3 cup capacity).
- Sprinkle the tops generously with the Turbinado Crumb Topping. Push the extra fresh blueberries randomly into the topping.
- TO BAKE: Turn oven down to 425° F when the muffins go in and bake for 10 minutes. Then turn oven down to 400° F to finish baking: another 20-22 minutes. Rotate pan half way through baking. Total baking time 30-32 minutes, until golden brown and a wooden skewer tests clean.
- Internal Temperature = 210°F - 212°F, if using a thermometer.
- Cool in pans 5-10 minutes, then remove muffins to wire rack to continue cooking.
