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

Glaze
  • 1 cup confectioners 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.

Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

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

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.

Zest the orange.

Pour the whisked eggs, oil, milk, orange juice, and orange zest into the flour mixture.

Stir just until combined.

Using a large cookie scoop or a 1/4 measuring cup, 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.

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

​Then, remove the muffins to a wire rack and let cool completely.

To remove the muffins easily from the pan: If you have a platter or rimmed cookie sheet that’s larger than the muffin pan, flip the muffins onto the platter or pan, then move the muffins to the wire rack.
​Decision Time: Would you like these orange muffins plain or glazed? Maybe both?

​For the glaze, whisk together the confectioners sugar and orange juice until the glaze is a drizzling consistency.

For easier cleanup after glazing, put a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter under the wire rack.
