Orange Muffins Ingredients
  • 2 cups (240g) flour
  • 3/4 cup (149g) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs (100g), whisked
  • 1/2 cup (113g) milk or buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup (66g) canola or vegetable oil
  • Zest from 1 large orange
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice (no pulp)

Glaze
  • 1 cup (113g) powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice (no pulp)
  • Orange zest (optional for decoration)

​How to Make Orange Muffins with Glaze (12 muffins)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200C).

Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or spray with baking spray.

In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk until combined.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs.

Zest and juice the orange. Set aside.

Pour the whisked eggs, oil, milk, orange zest, and orange juice into the flour mixture. Stir just until combined.

Using a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, add the batter to the prepared muffin pan.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on the edges of the muffins. Check the muffins at 15 minutes.

Not sure if the muffins are done? Insert a toothpick into the center of the largest muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.

Cool the muffins in the pan on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes.

​Use an offset spatula to loosen the edges of the muffins and carefully transfer the muffins to a wire rack and cool completely.
​Decision Time: Would you like these orange muffins plain or glazed? Maybe both?

Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes.
