lemony yogurt muffins

*from Sweet Basil*

Yorgurt Muffins
Recipe From Some Magazine long ago
(use the yogurt flavor and fruit of choice)

1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar (I only used a bit over a 1/4 cup)
2 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel (i used lemon)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1 8-ounce carton orange yogurt (I used vanilla)
1/3 cup cooking oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1-2 teaspoon orange juice ( i used fresh lemon juice)

Heat oven to 400

Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper bake cups
In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, orange peel, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, oil, and vanilla. Add mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden.
Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, stir together powdered sugar and enough orange juice to make a glaze that is easy enough to drizzle. Drizzle over warm muffins, serve warm.
