Steps:
- Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Grease 12 muffin cups or line them with liner papers.
- In a large bowl, toss together sugar and orange zest. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix to combine. In another medium bowl, whisk eggs with melted butter, sour cream, milk, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it, then stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula just until combined. Do not over mix. Fold in add-ins.
- Divide batter evenly between muffin cups (almost all the way to the top). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then remove muffins from the tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the orange drizzle topping: In a small bowl, sift powdered sugar. Add orange juice, a bit at a time, and whisk until you get a thick yet pourable consistency. Once muffins have cooled, pour glaze over the tops using a tablespoon, letting it drizzle down the sides.
- Muffins are best the same day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for an additional day. Muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F; spray a muffin tin (12) with non-stick cooking spray like Pam and set aside.
- Put orange quarters in food processor (or blender) along with orange juice and process or blend until pureed.
- Add egg and butter to food processor and combine; pour into large bowl.
- Combine dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, then add all at once to orange mixture.
- Stir to combine.
- Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes; remove from oven and let stand in tin for 5 minutes before removing muffins.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and juiciness to your muffins. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice. However, fresh oranges will give you a more intense orange flavor.
- Zest your oranges: Orange zest is the flavorful outer layer of the orange peel. It adds a bright, citrusy flavor to your muffins. Be sure to zest your oranges before juicing them.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups almost to the top: This will give your muffins a nice, rounded shape.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
These California Orange Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The muffins are moist and flavorful, with a bright orange flavor. They're also a good source of vitamin C and fiber. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, reach for one of these muffins instead of a store-bought snack. You won't be disappointed!
