How to Make Essence Of Orange Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 8 large muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, orange juice, sour cream, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the orange zest and optional fresh fruit.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and a small amount of orange zest until smooth. Add more orange juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the muffins are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top of each muffin.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
