Orange Yogurt Muffins image

From William Sonoma kitchen library. I love the light flavor of these muffins. You can choose to serve as is or top with the optional glaze I've included with the recipe. ***updated/correction*** 2/4/09 - Due to the reviews I realize I need to adjust the servings and the ingredient measurements for the glaze. ***

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large oranges
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar (additional, not a mistake)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice (from oranges above)
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and butter or spray standard muffin tins.
  • Finely grate the zest from the oranges (zest only the bright orange portion of the peel)- you will end up with approximately 1/4 c of zest.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the zest, first 1/4 cup of sugar and the water; stir together over medium heat for about 2 minutes until sugar dissolves.
  • Add the butter and stir until melted, about 1 minute more.
  • Set aside orange zest mixture.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and the second 1/4 cup of sugar.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, milk and reserved orange zest mixture until smooth.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended (do not overmix).
  • Spoon into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool in tins for 3-5 minutes and then remove and cool completely on wire rack.
  • ****FOR GLAZE****.
  • Combine all the ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl and whisk together briskly until smooth and very well blended.
  • If glaze is too stiff, beat in a few more drops of orange juice.
  • Brush or spoon over the muffins while they are still a bit warm.
  • You will end up with almost 1/2 cup of glaze which should be enough for the 18 muffins.

I made a few healthy swaps to this recipe to make it even better. I used Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt, which added more protein and creaminess. I also used honey instead of sugar, which gave the muffins a natural sweetness. The muffins turn
