Orange Muffins

3/4 cup canola oil
(>)1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup orange juice
(2 tablespoons grated orange rind- I omitted because I didn't have any oranges)

Combine oil, sugar and eggs. Mix well. Add remaining ingredients. Blend. Pour into muffin pan sprayed with canola oil. Bake at 350° for 10 to 15 minutes.

This recipe was slightly tweaked from one I found online. The muffins turned out light and fluffy and with a good crumb. They were even better the next day. There must a scientific reason for this that has to do with using oil instead of butter. (?)
