Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
  • grated zest of 1 large orange
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp white sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat egg with sour cream, butter and orange juice. Stir in orange zest and brown sugar and mix well.
  • Add sour cream mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fill prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full. Combine sugar with remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over muffins.
