Orange Muffins: Your Recipe, My Kitchen

One thing that I have noticed since moving to Florida is that I always seem to have at least one bag of oranges in my fridge now.  I haven't even checked to see if they are local fruit, but they are certainly delicious.  With two boys playing Pop Warner football, I had to buy extra for a half time snack and ended up with quite a few leftovers.  As a result, you may see a few extra orange flavored goodies posted.

I found the recipe for these muffins on Annie's Eats.  Once I saw that she had gotten the recipe from The Pastry Queen, I knew it would be good.  I have really enjoyed reading those cookbooks.  These muffins have 1/2 cup fresh orange juice in the batter and another 1/3 cup in the glaze.   With the zest in both, they are packed with orange goodness.    They made a great breakfast.

Orange Muffins (adapted from Annie's Eats)

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1 cup oil

1 cup sugar

3 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder

1 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

2 eggs

1/2 tsp salt

zest of 1 1/2 oranges

glaze: 

1/3 cup fresh orange juice

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

zest of 1/2 orange

Combine orange juice, oil, milk, sour cream, eggs and zest in a mixing bowl.  Throw in the dry ingredients and mix until moistened, but lumpy.  Pour into muffin liners (24) and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 18-20 minutes or until done.  For the glaze, heat the orange juice in a microwavable bowl until boiling (45 seconds in mine).  Add the powdered sugar and zest.  Spoon over the muffins as soon as they come out of the oven.
