Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • Zest of 1 orange

For the Zesty Orange Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together butter, sour cream, egg, orange juice and orange zest. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
  • Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Place into oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • To make the glaze, combine confectioners’ sugar, orange juice and orange zest. Whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar as needed.
  • When the muffins are done, cool for 10 minutes and dip the muffin crown into the glaze.
  • Allow glaze to set before serving.
