Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Bakery Style Orange Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, orange zest, and fresh squeezed orange juice. Gently combine the wet and dry mixtures, stirring until just combined.
  2. Cover the bowl with the batter and let it rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare a muffin pan by lining it with six muffin liners.
  4. Fill each muffin liner generously with the batter, aiming to fill them to the top.
  5. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 7 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 13-16 minutes.
  6. Cool the muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For the optional glaze, mix powdered sugar with a splash of orange juice to desired consistency.
