Treat Tuesday-Essence of Orange Muffins
Do you need a quick breakfast for Thanksgiving morning? These muffins come together in a snap and taste fantastic when they are warm. Put your turkey in the oven and then make the batter for these great treats. While they bake you can mix the glaze and pour over the warm muffins.
Start with fresh oranges. This recipe calls for using organic oranges since you will be using both outside for the zest and the inside for the fresh orange juice.
Using a zester or fine grater, zest one entire orange for adding great flavor to these muffins. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! The fresh zest and juice from the oranges makes all the difference in the flavor of these muffins.
Next mix the milk, orange juice, sour cream, eggs and melted butter.
Flour, sugar, baking powder, and the key ingredient, the orange zest are gently folded together to make a rich batter.
Fill the muffin tins to the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a wooden pick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, you can quickly stir the glaze together with fresh orange juice, powdered sugar, and grated orange zest.
Drizzle the glaze on warm muffins and enjoy immediately!
Orange you glad you made these muffins?! 🍊
