Ingredients

• For the muffins
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 2 sticks butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• zest of 1 orange
• For the glaze
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp orange zest

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare two muffin tins with non-stick spray or muffin liners. Whisk together the milk, OJ, sour cream, eggs, and butter. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until the flour is incorporated. Gently fold the orange zest into the batter.

Spoon the batter into the muffin pans, filling each cup ~3/4 full. Bake ~20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out with moist crumbs attached. Cool the muffins in the pans for 5 minutes before removing and transferring to a cooling rack.

Combine the orange juice, powdered sugar, and zest in a medium bowl. Spread over each muffin.
