Robin — March 23, 2024 @ 1:07 PM Reply So incredibly delicious. Christy — January 14, 2024 @ 6:54 AM Reply This has been sitting on one of my Pinterest boards forever and I decided on a whim to make them this morning. Oh. My. Goodness. These are the best muffins I’ve ever had. They’re perfect. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make them!! Amazing! JJ — May 17, 2023 @ 3:23 PM Reply Definite keeper recipe! Much better than another orange creamsicle muffin recipe I made. I added 1c white chocolate chips tossed w/ a Tbsp of the recipe’s flour instead of glazing them (no powdered sugar). Baked in a lined jumbo muffin tin @ 400 for the first 5 mins, then turned down to 375 for the next ~20 mins. Perfection! So satisfying! Kim Dux — April 30, 2023 @ 6:07 AM Reply Can I sub Greek yogurt for sour cream? Dell — April 29, 2023 @ 11:33 AM Reply Delicious Muffins! Made them this morning for My two Grandchildren and their parents! Theresa — March 10, 2023 @ 10:23 AM Reply Delicious and easy. More like a scone in texture. Would make a wonderful shortcake for dessert. Will make this again. Jen — January 7, 2023 @ 8:33 AM Reply I made these with blood oranges and added a bit of cinnamon and cranberries. A delicious addition! Thanks for my new go-to recipe! Patricia — August 23, 2022 @ 2:30 PM Reply These are excellent! So soft and tender, wonderful flavor. Thanks for sharing. T. Brattset — March 27, 2022 @ 4:56 AM Reply Delicious muffins. Very moist. I did have to add more liquid to it to get batter to proper consistency. I started with more OJ then added a little apple sauce. They turned out perfect.Thanks for the recipe, always looking for new ways to make muffins. Michele — February 16, 2022 @ 1:47 PM Reply I followed the recipe to the letter, and these muffins turned out fantastic! Erica — February 11, 2022 @ 7:12 PM Reply These are AMAZING! Only thing I would change myself (personal preference) is to add more orange flavor to the batter. Other than that, everyone at my restaurant loved this recipe! Thank you! Mendee — January 12, 2022 @ 10:41 AM Reply Damn “Frickin” Delicious! I made it exactly as written. They are beautifully peaked, moist and delicious. Thank you for the recipe. Rene’e — March 28, 2021 @ 10:13 PM Reply I made these using a baby cakes mini cupcake maker. Took less than a half hour to bake 2 dozen minis. Turned out perfect. Reba Ammerman — February 16, 2021 @ 7:49 PM Reply Oh my goodness these are absolutely delicious!! I made them without the glaze, they definitely don’t need it! They’re so moist, the perfect crumb honestly. Lovely flavor. Perfect muffins!! samanta aniston — November 15, 2020 @ 9:52 AM Reply I tried this recipe…muffins turned out very well. Tqvm for sharing. Denise — November 5, 2020 @ 5:59 AM Reply I made a few different muffins yesterday. This was far and away the winner with my daughters. Thanks for the great recipe. How do they freeze? Maritess S — June 23, 2020 @ 6:55 PM Reply Oh my! This is orange goodness to the MAX. Added to my all-time favourites. Thanks for sharing. Cecilia Sanchez — June 6, 2020 @ 8:45 AM Reply I substituted the sour cream for 3/4 of a cup of Kefir Yogurt as I didn’t have sour cream and opted to go without the glaze and slightly less sugar and it was divine. The orange really lightens up the taste so be careful you’ll have eaten a handful without having realized it. Carol M. — May 31, 2020 @ 9:06 AM Reply Damn! These ARE delicious!!!!! Truly outstanding! Esther Garibay — May 27, 2020 @ 8:07 PM Reply What an easy recipe for something so delicious! I’ve been baking once a week for my husbands office during this COVID-19 period and I try to come up with something to put a smile on their faces and bring a little comfort. Orange Sour Cream Muffins are the answer this week! I mean, who doesn’t like orange baked goods and…………..did you know, the color Orange is for optimism! Thanks so much for your thoughtful delicious recipe! I will be makings these babies again and when I do I’ll know they’ll be asking me; Orange you glad to eat me again?! I made this — May 24, 2020 @ 12:54 PM Reply These muffins were amazing. I had no issues with them. Followed the recipe exactly. Once the batter was in the muffin pan, I added cranberries to a few and chocolate chips to a few. Delicious!! EDITH — May 17, 2020 @ 7:50 AM Reply Lovely muffins! Easy to make and a bit of a change from the usual muffin flavours. Elizabeth — April 27, 2020 @ 11:58 AM Reply Tasted great but mine didn’t rise either. I’m an experienced baker and I have brand new baking powder. Wondering if these need the paper liners to pull themselves up in the muffin tin? That’s the only change I made – I sprayed the muffin tray with coconut oil since I didn’t have liners. Shana — May 17, 2020 @ 2:12 PM Reply I’ve read that fat can inhibit the rise in baked goods. I looked up the fat content in sour cream and it is 45 grams per 8 ounces. Whole milk has only 8 grams of fat per 8 ounces. Most muffin recipes I’ve seen have some sort of fluid (generally milk), which I’m assuming the sour cream stands in for in this recipe. – I wonder if raising the temperature to 425F for the first few minutes might help them rise a bit more. Then lower to finish. (A technique used in a cupcake recipe I came across on Sally’s Baking Addiction) JordanandIansmom — April 19, 2020 @ 10:09 PM Reply Fantastic recipe! I’ve been meaning to write a review. I can’t find fresh or frozen cranberries and had a bunch of raspberries so when I saw this recipe I decided instead of orange cranberry we’d try orange raspberry. So delicious! Even my daughter who “doesn’t like sweets” couldn’t get enough of them. The orange flavor is just right and I used the glaze which was a huge hit. It offset the tartness of the berries. Thanks for such an easy recipe, I’m making another batch today. Nowelle — February 4, 2020 @ 7:41 PM Reply Good recipe and easy to make. The texture was good and the moisture was good including with drizzle. Rebecca — January 17, 2020 @ 8:21 AM Reply These muffins turned out so light, fluffy, and fresh! I loved the fresh orange flavor in the muffin and glaze. The only thing I changed was add in a cup of plain yogurt instead of the sour cream, and it turned out delicious. I also cut the glaze recipe in half since I only had enough orange ingredients for half, and there was still enough to dip all the muffins in. Thanks for the excellent orange muffin recipe. Kathy — October 26, 2019 @ 4:23 PM Reply Tons of orange flavor, light fluffy texture. Excellent recipe! Brittany — July 22, 2019 @ 2:53 AM Reply Great recipe for muffins that aren’t too sweet and have a lightness to them! Thank you! LL — June 15, 2019 @ 2:26 AM Reply Great tasting! Principina — June 14, 2019 @ 1:37 PM Reply I made them last night delicious! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Any favorites? Jana @ Damn Delicious — June 15, 2019 @ 10:44 AM Reply This garlic butter shrimp scampi is my current favorite! It’s soooo delicious, super easy and quick. Sheila Wenzel — January 24, 2019 @ 1:35 PM Reply Great recipe! Muffins moist. Directions easy to follow. Wonderful flavor! Jana @ Damn Delicious — January 24, 2019 @ 4:40 PM Reply Thanks! Laura Hedlund — January 13, 2019 @ 5:14 PM Reply These are EXCELLENT. I didn’t change the recipe and they turned out fantastic. The sour cream in these makes them moist and the orange is very present. I did have to sub a homemade powdered sugar bc I was in a pinch (1cup cane sugar +1tsp cornstarch). The flavor was the same as it would have been with the powdered sugar but my glaze ended up being granulated. Oh well, had to make it work! My toddler devoured one and my husband ate two right out of the oven.I sent this recipe to my mom and my best friend immediately after making. I will be making these again and again. Wonderful! April — December 31, 2018 @ 10:29 PM Reply 5 star ALL THE WAY !!!I sifted the dry ingrediants…..They are awesome….making them again right now! Linda Knittel — June 19, 2018 @ 9:37 AM Reply Hello, Chungah! Would I need to do anything differently if I made these into mini-muffins? They sound…..SCRUMPTIOUS!!!! 🙂Thank you! Jana @ Damn Delicious — June 19, 2018 @ 10:48 AM Reply Hi Linda, you’d have to adjust the baking time, but since we haven’t tried this ourselves, we can’t give you a definite answer. Please use your best judgement when making modifications! Hope that helps. Carmen Valdivia — February 8, 2018 @ 2:35 PM Reply Why aren’t my muffins rising? The are delicious but for some reason they don’t rise I’ve made them twice both times same thing Dajeau — May 12, 2018 @ 7:34 AM Reply Check your baking powder. Chicook13 — January 11, 2018 @ 3:34 PM Reply Oh my goodness, these are absolutely amazing!! I followed the recipe and added one cup of King Arthur Flour orange jammy bits. So moist, so delicious! Thank you so much! Cassidy — December 24, 2017 @ 10:55 AM Reply Best way to store them? Making them tonight for Christmas Day tomorrow…please let me know soon. Thanks in advance. Chungah — December 24, 2017 @ 3:10 PM Reply I would keep them loosely covered at room temperature. Cassidy — December 24, 2017 @ 3:20 PM Reply Thank u. So fully make them with the frosting and everything and then leave them outside of fridge does not need to be refrigerated even with sour cream? Making them as we speak 😉 Chungah — December 25, 2017 @ 5:26 PM Reply I prefer to keep them at room temperature but as I am not an expert on food safety, I cannot really say with certainty – sorry, Cassidy! Methods for optimal food storage and shelf life should be based on good judgment and what you are personally comfortable with. Kristen — November 4, 2017 @ 9:17 AM Reply These were so good! Our real estate group is the Orchard group so we wanted to find an orange muffin to package. These were amazing….and that glaze! I added dried cranberries, per some of the comments, and I will definitely make these again! Thank you! Katie — August 18, 2017 @ 12:50 PM Reply So tasty! I added dried cranberries for an orange cranberry version and it’s taking all my will power not to eat them all! I also sifted my powdered sugar for the glaze, I added a little without sifting, which led to some sugar clumping. So I think it’s a great idea to sift 🙂 Joanne — April 2, 2017 @ 12:56 PM Reply Want a real treat? Add mini chocolate chips to the batter. When ready to bake sprinkle the tops with crystal sugar and more mini chips. Soooo delicious! Jill Weatherston — December 14, 2014 @ 3:47 PM Reply I made these with clementines today and they were divine! So happy to have found this recipe. 🙂 Samantha — November 20, 2014 @ 6:02 PM Reply Absolutely beautiful recipe! Made them with fresh tangelo juice, turned out very yummy. Thank you! Jana McGinnis — October 11, 2014 @ 11:15 AM Reply Oh-my-gosh. I hardly ever post a comment on a food blog. But I can’t remain silent any longer. Your recipes are over-the-top amazing. In fact, yes, they are “damn delicious!” I’m so glad I found you!!!! Thank you:=) Danielle — October 10, 2014 @ 2:06 PM Reply I’ve made these muffins 10x now! My husband requests them and every time they’re JUST as delectable. I used valencia oranges, and be sure to not over mix the batter or the muffins turn out dense.

Start your mornings off right with these refreshing muffins drizzled with a decadent glaze!

Orange Sour Cream Muffins with Zesty Orange Glaze - Damn Delicious (1)

Believe me when I tell you that these are no ordinary muffins. That’s what I thought when I was watching them bake in the oven but boy was I wrong.

These babies are incredibly fluffy and moist from the sour cream, and they are packed with such bold orange flavor thanks to the copious amounts of orange zest and freshly squeezed orange juice. The zesty orange glaze just punches even more fresh orange flavor, giving you that nice sweetness in every bite. Even Jason, Mr. Non-Muffin Lover, loved these, and that says a whole lot!

So here’s how you make these awesome muffins:

Let’s start with the dry ingredients.

Then the wet –butter, sour cream, egg, orange juice and orange zest.

Pour the wet into the dry and give it a good stir, being careful not to overwork the batter.

Then we’ll pop them into the oven for about 16-18 minutes, letting them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

    These were so good! Our real estate group is the Orchard group so we wanted to find an orange muffin to package. These were amazing….and that glaze! I added dried cranberries, per some of the comments, and I will definitely make these again! Thank you!

    So tasty! I added dried cranberries for an orange cranberry version and it’s taking all my will power not to eat them all! I also sifted my powdered sugar for the glaze, I added a little without sifting, which led to some sugar clumping. So I think it’s a great idea to sift 🙂

    Want a real treat? Add mini chocolate chips to the batter. When ready to bake sprinkle the tops with crystal sugar and more mini chips. Soooo delicious!

    I’ve made these muffins 10x now! My husband requests them and every time they’re JUST as delectable. I used valencia oranges, and be sure to not over mix the batter or the muffins turn out dense.

    I just tired this recipe for the first time today, all I can say is yummmm! They were great, I did leave them in the oven for about 5 more minutes than what was stated on the instructions. This recipe will go in my favorites recipe collections. Thank you!

      I’ll definitely have to add cranberries next time I make this. I have a ton leftover from my cranberry sauce too!

      Amen to the cranberries. Just made ’em and they are delicious – I know because I messed up one “accidently” and split it with DH. Oh, my. Wish I could add the pic I took for Pinterest – so pretty!
