Are you a fan of Orange Creamsicles? I used to eat those a lot when I was a kid! If you like that orangey, creamy taste, you’ll probably enjoy these pretty and puffy rounded-top muffins. They have a great orange flavor and the white baking morsels give them an extra creaminess. They’re finished off with a yummy orange glaze and more of those creamy white baking morsels, coarsely chopped up and sprinkled on top.

These Orange Creamsicle Muffins might be a little too sweet for an early breakfast (or maybe not!), but they’d be great for a spring or summer brunch, snack, tea time, or dessert for lunch or dinner. Yay for warmer weather and yay for Orange Creamsicle Muffins!

Ingredients
For the batter:
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda1
  • /4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup canola oil or light olive oil
  • 1/2 cup milk or Half & Half (light cream)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed and undiluted
  • 1/2 Tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1 cup white (vanilla) baking morsels (aka white chocolate chips)
For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons orange juice concentrate, thawed and undiluted
  • 1/2 Tablespoon milk or Half & Half
  • 2 to 3 Tablespoons white (vanilla) baking morsels, coarsely chopped, for garnish
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a regular-size muffin pan with paper liners; set aside.
In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; blend together and set aside.
In medium bowl, mix sugar and oil together, blending well; then mix in milk (or Half & Half), egg, yogurt, orange juice concentrate, orange zest, and orange extract; mix until well blended. Add this mixture, half at a time, to flour mixture and stir until blended, but don’t overmix! Fold in the white baking morsels.
Spoon batter (the batter will be thick) into muffin cups, filling them between 2/3 and 3/4 full. Bake at 350ËšF for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of muffins comes out clean (muffins will be lightly browned on top). Cool 5-10 minutes and remove from pan, then cool completely on a wire rack.
While waiting for the muffins to cool, you can mix the glaze:
Mix powdered sugar, orange juice concentrate, and milk together in small bowl and blend well, until sugar is dissolved. This will be a thicker glaze. Spoon over muffins and sprinkle some coarsely chopped white baking morsels on top. Let glaze set for at least 10 to 15 minutes, then serve.
