O J Muffins

Posted for ZWT6 for the NA*ME Region - mainly Kuwait. I found this on a website dedicated to Kuwait Recipes. The frosting really adds to the depth of flavor of the orange so I highly recommend using it. When juicing your orange make sure to save 1 tsp for the frosting!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 18
• Yields: 18 muffins

Ingredients

• Muffins

• 2  cups flour
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
• 1  teaspoon  grated  orange rind
• 1  cup  orange juice (100% fresh squeezed is best with pulp)
• 1  large egg
• 1⁄3 cup canola oil

• Icing

• 1  cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons milk
• 1  teaspoon  orange juice

Directions

1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, sugar and the orange rind.
2. Add in the orange juice, egg, and the oil. Stir so that the mixture is moistened by the wet ingredients but don't overmix it; the batter should still be lumpy.
3. Turn the batter into 18 well oiled or lined muffin cups and bake at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes.
4. When muffins are nicely browned on top, remove them from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
5. For Icing: Mix the confectioner's sugar, milk and orange juice together to get a nice light icing and then drizzle over the almost fully cooled muffins. Allow to set before serving.
