Ingredients
Orange Juice Muffins
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup Florida’s Natural® Brand Orange Juice
Orange Pistachio Glaze
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup Florida’s Natural® Brand Orange Juice
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- 1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix all muffin ingredients together. I used my mixer, but you could easily mix these by hand.
- Line muffin tins with cupcake wrappers or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way full. (Use an ice cream scoop for uniform-sized muffins.)
- Bake the muffins at 400 degrees for 16 – 20 minutes.
- Let cool and then drizzle the glaze on top.
MAKING THE GLAZE
Whisk all of the glaze ingredients together and drizzle it over your cooled muffins.
Enjoy!
Notes
I used white whole wheat flour which made the muffins a little denser (which is how I like them), but this also works well with regular all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour. Take your pick.
It’s also super easy to make them vegan by substituing dairy-free milk and sour cream and switching in an egg replacer for the egg.
I think you’ll quickly find that Florida’s Natural® Brand Orange Juice is the real champion of this recipe. It adds the perfect amount of citrus flavor to the batter (and glaze), without overpowering it.
