How to Make Mandarin Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Drain one 11-ounce can of mandarin oranges, reserving the juice. Add orange extract and enough water to the reserved juice to measure 1 cup of liquid.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon orange extract, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the drained mandarin oranges and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill the muffin liners 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
