Orange Banana Muffins – these moist banana muffins have a yummy citrus flavor. The glaze makes them extra delicious!
I’m not sure why, but when the weather starts turning warmer, I feel the need to bake with citrus. It’s just such a happy, sunshiney flavor, isn’t it?
I don’t know why I’ve never thought to combine orange and banana before, but it’s a perfect flavor combination. Such a yummy update on regular banana muffins.
These muffins are great just plain, but if you want a special treat, add the glaze on top. Sour cream adds a bit of tartness that balances out the sweet, and pairs perfectly with the orange zest.
If you’re looking for a new banana recipe (you can’t have too many), give these orange banana muffins a try. They would be perfect for a spring brunch or bridal shower!

This recipe is perfect. I would suggest that the timing is off. These need 30 minutes in my oven.

Delicious! Subbed half cup of orange juice for half cup of the milk. Double the zest and baked 40 minutes in 9 x 13 pan. Double the zest in the glaze and added half tsp vanilla. Moist and delicious!
