ORANGE BLUEBERRY MUFFIN TOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

• In a separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter along with the orange zest and mix well.
• Toss the reserved 1 tablespoon flour with the blueberries in a bowl. Using a spatula, fold the blueberry mixture into the batter until combined.
• Use a standard ice cream scoop (1/4 cup) to scoop out the dough onto the lined baking sheets, spacing the scoops 2 to 3 inches apart. Bake until lightly browned, about 11 minutes. Transfer the muffin tops to a rack set over a baking sheet to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and orange juice and mix well. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffin tops and let set.
