Tips, Tricks and Techniques

The combination of fresh orange juice and juicy blueberries creates a delicious flavor sensation. To bring out the best flavor in the muffin batter, make sure to use fresh orange juice. If you are using frozen blueberries, make sure to rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the batter. For an extra moist muffin slightly undercook them and add additional sour cream. For even more zest you can add additional orange zest to the batter.

To make the glaze that packs a punch, mix together equal parts orange juice and powdered sugar. For a subtle nutty flavor, add a hint of almond extract to the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins while they are still warm so it will stick. Let the muffins cool completely before serving. Enjoy the delicious flavor of Blueberry Orange Glazed Muffins!

Use an Ice Cream Scoop

When it comes to making the perfect batch of blueberry-orange glazed muffins, an ice cream scoop is the best choice for portioning out the batter. Using an ice cream scoop ensures that each muffin is the same size and shape. This larger scoop also helps to create a nice round shape to the muffin. Additionally, an ice cream scoop is the quickest and most efficient way to make large batches of muffins.

By using an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin pans, you are also ensuring that the blueberry-orange glaze is evenly distributed among the muffins. This is especially important if you are looking to create a consistent flavor in each muffin. This makes the entire baking process much simpler and quicker. So be sure the next time you are baking a batch of blueberry-orange glazed muffins, reach for that trusty ice cream scoop. Not only will it make the process easier, but it will also ensure that each muffin is the same size and shape and that the glaze is evenly distributed.

How to Best Store Leftover Muffins

Nothing is quite as delicious as a freshly-baked blueberry orange glazed muffin. With the right storage techniques, you can enjoy these delicious treats for days to come.

It's best to store the muffins in an air-tight sealed container or wrap them in plastic wrap to keep them fresh. Place the muffins in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of any critters that may be interested in your tasty treats. If you plan to store them for more than a few days, it's best to place them in the refrigerator, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor. If you'd like to enjoy the muffins at a later date, freezing them is a great option. Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or place them all in a plastic freezer bag. Be sure if you are freezing to wait to add glaze at the later date you are wishing to eat them. With the right storage techniques, you can enjoy delicious blueberry-orange glazed muffins for days to come.
